There is a rumor floating around the forums about a recall on the Wrangler 4XE. It stems from an unfortunate typo and an oddly similar name for an electrified propulsion system made by a company called Meritor. Their integrated electrified propulsion system is called the 14XE. A typo by an...

I’m looking for anyone with inside knowledge on what this name badge is all about. The running theory is that this may have been the original name of the Wrangler 4XE. It would have been 4X4e instead of 4XE. Note that the e looks a lot like the e on the 4XE only without the two prongs on the...

If you don’t already know about the blended braking system on the Wrangler 4XE, this video might make you question the validity of using Max Regen on a daily basis. Also, did you know that the Wrangler 4XE is both a series hybrid and a parallel hybrid depending on conditions? I don’t quite...

Today marks one month with my Wrangler 4XE. Still amazed and still impressed with the design decisions. It’s just a great overall vehicle. I have developed just a short wish-list. These are not complaints as much as just things I wish were possible. 1-Latching max regen. I would also like to...

From time to time I have seen posts where people mention tapping in to the high voltage battery for over landing use. The first issue is that there would have to be some sort of conversion to a lower voltage which would require some sort of hardware. If you are going to that much trouble to add...

After driving the Wrangler 4XE for a while, I've started to create a mental image of how I perceive the software prioritizes power use. There's a lot going on in the software. The amount of code must be amazing. This is nothing official and I have no access to the actual data. I have just been...

These were done with the battery at less than 1%. I was in 4WD high. I'm happy to report that 0-60 in 6 seconds is completely feasible even with the battery discharged. I was hitting eSave+charge between attempts just to put a touch in but I was at that less than 1% state on all runs. Click here:

A lot of people have asked the question “What is the gas milage of the Wrangler 4XE?” Here’s why that is an enormously problematic question. Also, here’s why MPGE and MPG can not be confused. 53 MPG in a Wrangler 4XE?!?! Please share this video with anyone who tells you the 4XE will get 49...

Dealers and Sales Managers, Please take a moment to read up on the difference between MPGE and MPG. You are going to have upset customers if you tell them the Wrangler 4XE is rated at 49MPG. MPGE is a formulaic calculation based on kilowatt hours consumed per 100 miles when the vehicle is in...

I took my 4XE to a field and did some driving around while getting some footage with the GoPro Karma.

With the battery run down to less than 1%, I took the Wrangler 4XE on a 20 mile drive and managed 23 MPG. I also took a little time in this video to go through some of the screens.

One of the questions that came up early in the group was about stand-still charging. Can the Wrangler 4XE "self-charge" from the gas engine. The answer is yes but this method is neither environmentally friendly nor efficient. This will use gas without a lot of extra benefit. The battery retains...

If you are new to EVs and PHEVs, you might not be aware of PlugShare. It's a great app for finding public chargers.

End of first day thoughts. The 4XE will do at least 75 mph in all electric mode. That was one of my questions. I thought there might be a speed where the engine would turn on. Acceleration in electric mode is buttery smooth and very quiet. For day to day driving in traffic, it is perfect. It...

One of the single most asked questions abut the 4xe has been about flat towing. We have confirmed through the Jeep Cares Team and through other inside sources that the Wrangler 4XE can indeed be flat towed.

We came up with a list of great music for breaking in the audio system on your Wrangler 4XE when it finally comes in. This came from a thread in the Wrangler 4XE Fans Group on Facebook.

I've been checking out some of the Jeep dealerships that have put in formation about the Wrangler 4XE on their websites. If you have a dealership, please make sure your information does not say that the Wrangler 4XE will get 50MPG. I'm concerned that the lack of understanding about what MPGe is...

I have read articles and viewed YouTube videos that are conveying incorrect information about MPGe. I just watched a video on YouTube that claimed the Wrangler 4XE can achieve the same gas mileage as a Prius due to believing that it will achieve 50MPG. While the engineers at Jeep are awesome...

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have Wrangler 4XE Pricing.

I was just checking out the list of PHEVs that qualify for the $7500 Federal tax credit in the US. Anything with a battery size of 17kWh or more qualifies for the full $7500 credit. While the Wrangler 4XE isn't on the list yet, the 17.3kWh battery should qualify it for the full $7500 credit...
