Jeep EV Charging Tips Ohio

Jeep has been a leader in the EV industry, and has wasted no time with releasing new and innovative versions of vehicles you already know and love. Jeep PHEVs like the Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe combine a 2.0-liter gasoline engine with a rechargeable battery pack to offer you up to 25 miles of all-electric range! When you drive a Jeep 4xe, you'll have a total diving range of up to 475 miles, as well as three driving modes to choose from. You can keep an eye on your battery life right from your dashboard, and easily see when the battery is getting low. Your Jeep's charging port will be located near the driver's side mirror, and you can simply insert a Jeep charging cable in order to replenish your charge. 

If you're out and about, then you'll want to know where to charge your EV in your area. If you're living in or around Youngstown, Warren, or Boardman, Ohio, then you're in luck! There are many public charging stations available in your community, and you can keep your Jeep PHEV charged and ready to go, even when you're navigating your busy schedule. There are over 130 EV charging stations in and around the Youngstown area, many of which are easily accessible off of major highways, or in high-traffic downtown areas. For example, you can find four EV charging stations in Boardman, all of which are centrally located on Market Street!

In addition to using public EV charging stations, you can charge your electric vehicle or plug-in hybrid from the comfort of your own home. This is a huge benefit, especially compared to traditional gas-powered vehicles which can only be filled at gas stations. You can plug your Jeep 4xe into a home charging station overnight, and wake up to a fully charged battery! In order to keep your battery working efficiently, it's recommended to keep your charge between 20-80% if you're on a long drive, or completing many different errands throughout the day. Home charging stations are perfect for reaching a 100% charge, as you'll be able to simply plug in your car and walk away, allowing the battery to take its time reaching a full charge. Plus, you can get that full charge in just 2 hours using a Jeep Level II cable!

As we mentioned above, charging your battery is much more affordable than relying on gas alone. However, there are still many things you can do to keep your battery running efficiently, so that it can hold its charge for as long as possible, and keep working for years to come. One of these techniques has already been discussed, which is keeping your battery at 20-80% charged while actively driving. That's because this is the range in which your battery charges most efficiently, so you'll be minimizing any strain on the battery if you need to charge multiple times in one day. Another great way to protect your battery is to avoid extreme temperatures when you can. This also includes parking in a garage or under some shade to protect your car from overheating, or making an effort to clean ice and snow off of your car as soon as you can.
