Jeep 4xe Cold Weather Charging FAQs

While winter doesn't stop your Jeep 4xe from charging, frigid temperatures can affect battery efficiency and charging speed. Parking your 4xe in a garage or other warm space while charging protects the battery from extreme temperatures, leading to faster and more efficient charging. Use the preconditioning feature to heat the battery and cabin before charging. This preps the battery for optimal charging and gives you a toasty cabin when you arrive. Consider using a dedicated EV charging station, especially in extreme cold. These stations usually offer faster and more consistent charging than standard outlets, minimizing the impact of cold weather.

Winter chills can slow down your Jeep 4xe's charging time. Don't worry, though! There are a few ways to keep your battery happy and charged even when the temperatures plummet. First, ditch the regular outlet and opt for a dedicated EV charging station, especially in extreme cold. These stations offer faster, more consistent charging, thanks to their higher power output, counteracting the slowdown caused by chilly weather. If possible, plan your charging sessions for warmer times of the day. Charging during milder temperatures can contribute to more efficient power intake.

No need to worry about cold weather, your Jeep 4xe can handle it! But to keep it performing at its best, you need a secret weapon: preconditioning. Preconditioning warms up your battery and cabin before you even get in. This boosts efficiency and performance, especially in chilly weather. Many 4xes let you schedule preconditioning. Set it up so your car is warm and ready to go when needed, no matter the temperature. Some models even allow remote preconditioning with a mobile app. Just imagine warming up your Jeep from the comfort of your home!

Yes, to maintain range in cold weather, consider minimizing the use of cabin heating while the vehicle is stationary. Instead, use the preconditioning feature to warm the cabin while the vehicle is still plugged in. Try to limit high-power accessories while driving in cold weather, as these can impact the overall range. When parked, try not to blast the cabin heating too much. Instead, use the cool preconditioning feature to warm things up while your ride is still plugged in. While cruising in the cold, go easy on power-hungry accessories. They can be sneaky energy thieves and might dent your overall range.

Shivering temps can temporarily affect your 4xe's range, but hold your horses. This is usually par for the course. The range often bounces back as the battery warms up during your drive. But suppose you're dealing with ongoing range problems. In that case, it's a good idea to contact your dealership, check the vehicle's manual for more detailed advice, or make an appointment with Reedman-Toll CDJR of Jenkintown's service center.
