Short answer
Both are plug-in hybrids: they drive on electricity for shorter trips, then keep going on gas. On fueleconomy.gov, EPA rates the Wrangler 4xe at up to 21 miles of all-electric range and the Grand Cherokee 4xe at up to 25. Charge at home from a standard outlet or a Level 2 charger, or at public Level 2 stations.

Frequently asked questions
What is the electric range of the Jeep Wrangler 4xe?
EPA rates the Wrangler 4xe at up to 21 miles of all-electric range, per fueleconomy.gov. Real-world range is lower at freeway speeds and in cold weather.
What is the electric range of the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe?
EPA rates the Grand Cherokee 4xe at up to 25 miles of all-electric range, per fueleconomy.gov.
Can a Wrangler 4xe use a DC fast charger?
No. Both the Wrangler 4xe and the Grand Cherokee 4xe charge with the J1772 plug at Level 1 or Level 2, not at DC fast chargers.
Do I need a charger at home for a 4xe?
No, a standard outlet works, slowly. A 240-volt Level 2 charger refills the battery in a few hours, and the 4xe keeps driving on gas when the battery runs low.
How do the 4xe drive modes work?
Electric uses the battery first, Hybrid blends battery and gas, and E-Save holds the charge for later. When the battery runs low the 4xe simply drives as a hybrid, so range is never limited to the battery.
Why is real-world electric range lower than the EPA figure?
Range drops at freeway speeds, in cold weather, with the heat or AC running, with bigger tires or a roof rack, and when towing. Slow city driving usually does better, and Bay Area hills give a little back through regenerative braking on the way down.
Does a 4xe make sense if I can't charge at home?
It can, but most of your miles will then be on gas, so expect the gas-only figures: 20 MPG for the Wrangler 4xe and 23 MPG for the Grand Cherokee 4xe, per fueleconomy.gov. The 4xe pays off most for drivers who plug in nightly.
What are the combined MPGe ratings?
EPA rates the Wrangler 4xe at 49 MPGe combined and the Grand Cherokee 4xe at 56 MPGe combined, per fueleconomy.gov.
Do you have a Wrangler 4xe or Grand Cherokee 4xe in stock?
