[@sheryllynn7626]

Just make sure you get extended warranty for sure. I had the 2022 Sahara unlimited 4xe. Bought May 7 and traded it in two weeks ago when we found out if the battery goes out, your looking at $13,500 just for the battery pack. And it can only be changed by the dealership. As per the dealership if you decide to trade in years down the road they will deduct the 13,500.00 from the trade in value due to they will have to put a new battery pack with full life just to be able to resale it. Don’t get me wrong I loved my Jeep but I can find better things to drop 13,500.00 on. Just sharing info.

[@mowcowbell]

Source of this info? My guess is you were listening to the dude at the dealership selling the extended warranties. Do you realize Jeep warrantees the battery pack for 8 years / 100,000 miles??

[@twill143]

You have a 8 yr/100,000 mile warranty on the battery as well as the entire hybrid system. Can’t imagine not knowing this when you purchased your 4Xe. It’s on the msrp and in the owners manual/warranty supplement.

When you plug up at a public station and walk away from your Jeep can anybody just walk up and take the charger out? Or does the Jeep have to be unlocked for you to take the charger out so nobody can unplug it unless they have the key on them? just wondering because I know other evs lock when you charge so nobody can just unplug your Jeep.

Thanks for the info on gas grade Brandon. My last vehicle was a Audi-A4 with turbo V-4 engine similar to this jeep. They required premium gas for best performance. Will put 93 in this jeep. WSW Pineville NC

The only down side is the cost.. My 2018 Rubicon Unlimited was 46K out the door with two tops and every option.. The same spec in the 4Xe was 70K, That's 24K dollars.. I drive about 5K miles a year.. So based on my daily driving amount, and the cost of gas at 5.00 a gallon, also have a 3in lift and bigger tires, so i get 11mpg on mid grade.. We can say 10mpg.. The fuel tank is 21.5 Gallons, or about 107.50 to fill from dead, that will go about 215 miles.. I do about 23 fill up's a year.. or about 2500.00 a year in gas.. It would take me just under 10 years to make the difference.. That's a LONG time to wait to break even, and after 10 years, who's to say that those 4XE batteries will still be good.. Seems steep to me.. but i guess if you do 15k a year, maybe it's worth it..

[@Prestige21-j1l]

[@ramehkhazen2223]

It seems only slightly cheaper than gas. When you factor in the charging station it's probably about the same over a year period.

[@thelast929]

If you can fully charge for under $2 and go 20 miles, that is considerably less than one gallon of gas at $5 a gallon to go between 22-30 miles.

[@ggolds5]

Hey Brandon!!!!. So tonight we pulled up to a Charging America station, or hmm, the one you pulled up to in this video that has the CCS combo charger. I'm confused. Why doesn't this charing station have the 1772 also?. I understand that the Tesla stations have only the Tesla charging ports but what was this conbo connection designed for and why doesn't the 4xe connect to this?. Another words, why the odd plug and why not a 1772 also?. Confused. PS. 5500 miles on my 4xe and love it.

Another question : what is the max kw that I should pick up between 7,2 kw and a 22 kw cables? I have read that the 4xe accept up to 7,4kw that would made the 22kw useless, but I am not sure.

Hi, so if public charging station says type 2 then we can charge our Jeep 4xe there?

[@lawpapi]

My only gripe is plugging the car in after the charging window. Mine is set to 11pm but if I try plugging in at 1130pm, it won’t work unless I go in the system and turn off the schedule. I’m going to try your double plug trick to see if it bypasses that. Also, does max regeneration use the brakes? I used it coming down a trail to save my brakes. Wondering if that’s a huge plus to the 4xe when off-roading. Some of the trails around me are notorious for burning brakes on the way down. As always, great vid!

[@BrandonHaneline]

Yes. The brake light comes on when you let off the gas.

[@BrandonHaneline]

The double plug will work. Let me know if that works for you.

Next day I plugged it in overnight and when I came out of the garage I could see my final 5th light blinking. Looked inside and it was at 95% saying seven minutes left. I looked at my chargers display and the amps were down to 8 amp. The charger was set for 32 and it is plugged into a 220volt circuit with 40 amp breakers, no fault in sight but just a diminished amperage. Unplugged it and plugged it back in, still said 8 amps but it did finish charging in about 5 minutes. Do you have an idea of what happened? Thanks for your videos and help.
