If you’re ready to explore the electric and hybrid vehicle world, take a look at Jeep's PHEV lineup. PHEV means Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle: which is the best of every mode of vehicle power. Many drivers like the convenience and familiarity of gas, the clever technology of regenerative braking, and the direct power of plug-in charging. Keep offers two vehicles that they are calling their 4xe lineup: the Wrangler 4xe and the Grand Cherokee 4xe.
Get to know how these models operate below.
Jeep’s 4xe PHEV Technology
Both models, the Wrangler 4xe and the Grand Cherokee 4xe, give drivers the option to choose between driving modes: Gas, Hybrid, electric, and E-Save. Just push the button to choose your power method. Here is a little bit about how each mode works.
Gas: When this mode is selected, your vehicle will run off of gasoline.
Hybrid: This is the default mode. Electric power is used first, then it will switch to gas; all the while, your vehicle is storing energy from regenerative braking. This mode delivers the maximum horsepower and torque of each mode.
Electric: This mode emits the lowest amount of emissions, nearly 0%.
E-Save: If you want to conserve your electric power, activate this mode to use at a later point.
Understanding Regenerative Braking and Electric Charging
The amazing technology that powers hybrid vehicles is regenerative braking. This is the process of charging your electric battery with the power of braking. Nothing special is required– just drive and generate power passively.
Electric plug-in charging can be accessed easily. Just GPS the nearest charging station, much like you would for a gas station. They are typically located in shopping centers, gas stations, workplaces, along highways, and many more locations. Plus, you can charge your vehicle at home with a Level 1 or Level 2 wall charger that does not require special installation.
