Best Jeep 4xe Charger: Top Options for Eco-Friendly Jeep 4xe Charging

The level 1 charger that came with the Jeep 4xe Charger is a slow charging charger with 120 volts output; we needed to upgrade to a Jeep 4xe fast charger with 240 volts to juice up our brand-new Jeep 4xe 400-volt, 17 kWh battery at home.

Some of the considerations for the new Jeep aftermarket Level 2 charger was a long power cord that would be long enough to use in our two-door garage so that we don’t have to move the Jeep every time we need to charge it; this is some of the many premium options we were going for in our hunt for a brand-new Jeep 4xe level 2 charger.

Grizzl-E Level 2 EV Charger

The Grizzl-E Level 2 EV Charger is compatible with all Jeep 4xe models, including the Jeep 4xe Sahara, Rubicon, and High Altitude, all with a J1772 charge plug.

We chose the Grizzl-E Level 2 EV Charger because it can be used indoors and outdoors. Unlike most EV chargers available on the market, it’s also lightweight and includes a 24-foot long Grizzl-E cable that is perfect for a two-door garage or uses in a carport.

Best Jeep 4xe Smart Charger.

If you would like to experience the benefits of modern Jeep smart charging capabilities, which include using your phone app to control your Jeep charging schedule and real-time charging monitoring to help you mitigate the effects of dynamic, spot, and time-of-use electric rates, detailed energy consumption statistics, updates, diagnostics and more, we would recommend opting for the Grizzl-E Smart Connect Level 2 (EV) Charger which is a more advanced charger compared to the Grizzl-E CLASSIC and the Grizzl-E DUO which don’t have WiFi capabilities.

We were able to connect the Grizzle-E smart charger with Wi-Fi to manage the Jeep 4xe charging via the ChargeLab app, which allows remote Jeep 4xe charging management; all this is possible because Grizzle-E Smart Connect Level 2 Charger uses OCPP-compliant charging solutions (to be specific OCPP 1.6j) which are the most competitive in the industry, and allows EV charging software’s, smart home softwares and much more integration with the charger through third party Apps such as ChargeLab Apps.

During the installation of the Grizzl-E Smart Connect Level 2 (EV) Charger, we noticed that there is a high chance you will need a local network administrator to come and reconfigure your network configuration, especially if you are using the latest high-performance routers with 5G band, this is because the Grizzl-E Smart Connect Level 2 (EV) Charger connects to 2.4ghz and works best on network strengths of −67 dBm or greater, your network administrator can create a guest network, modify your router firmware, recommend external access points, or change of a router, bridge your network or use a network extender to create a dedicated 2.4ghz for the Grizzl-E Smart Connect Level 2 (EV) Charger.

Apart from the WIFI connection part, in case you have 5Ghz WIFI frequency, the installation is easy for the Grizzl-E Smart Connect Level 2 (EV) Charger.

We used the ChargeLab app because there is no specific Grizzl-E. You have to use a universal app compatible with the Grizzl-E SMART charger, with ChargeLab being one of the compatible applications with Grizzl-E SMART charger. You can download ChargeLab on your iPhone from the Appstore or Android Device on the Google Play store.

The Grizzl-E Level 2 EV Charger will charge your Jeep 4xe and offer upto 28-30 miles of range per hour on average, with up to 10 kW / 40A output, some factors that might affect your Jeep 4xe charging speeds include the Jeep 4xe charger power output if you choose the Grizzl-E Level 2 EV Charger with different power output (Grizzl-E Level 2 EV Charger offers 16A, 24A, 32A, or 40A), we do recommend purchasing the 40 A Grizzl-E Level 2 EV Charger. The age of your battery and energy use are other factors that might affect the charging speeds of your Jeep 4xe.

The cost of installing a Grizzl-E SMART charger to charge your Jeep 4xe at home, according to Qmerit ranges from $800 to $2,000 if a professional, trusted, licensed, and experienced technician installs the Grizzl-E charger for you, however, we found that installing the Grizzl-E charger is easy you have to purchase a 14-50R Power Outlet and install the charger yourself, we bought and used the ENERLITES 50 Amp 125/250V NEMA 14-50R Power Outlet to install the charger in our Garage.

NEMA 14-50R Power Outlet for use with the Grizzl-E Level 2 EV Charger

We do recommend the ENERLITES 50 Amp 125/250V NEMA 14-50R Power Outlet for outdoor installation since it has a waterproof enclosure and is rugged to match your Grizzl-E Level 2 EV Charger weather resistance capabilities; both Jeep 4xe components make the perfect combo for charging the Jeep 4xe at fast speeds.

Jeep Level 2 Charger Installation.

Indoors Installation: After a few months of using the ENERLITES 50 Amp 125/250V NEMA 14-50R Power Outlet, we decided to try out a much smaller and classic power outlet from Leviton, for our indoor installation, Leviton 279-S00 50 Amp power outlet is a Nema 14-50R, 125/250V industrial grade receptacle outlet with a classier finish for mounting our charger indoors, this meant that we didn’t need to protect the power outlet from weather elements and the Leviton 279-S00 50 Amp power outlet was a good option for us since the Leviton receptacle power outlet didn’t need an enclosure box.

After installation, we gave the Leviton 279-S00 50 Amp power outlet a smooth finish by installing the Leviton flush mount metal plate made from aluminium, the wall plate gives the Leviton 279-S00 50 Amp power outlet a nice finish and will protect your Level 2 charger receptacle outlet from elements such as water, and its also easy to clean, the two products fit perfectly together as though they were made for one another.

Overall, the Grizzl-E Level 2 EV Charger is a good Jeep 4xe charger and offers value for the money; it’s also budget-friendly and comes with a 3-year or 5-year equipment warranty, depending on the accessories and type of charger you choose. The fast charging times allow us to reduce our Jeep charging costs, and we also have Jeep solar panels installed on our Overland Jeep, which provides a sustainable power source, lowering our overall carbon footprint.
