I have a 4xe and just posted my initial impressions on the 4xe forum. Has good and bad.
- Level 2 charger is a must to maximize electric range as you can top off every time you are home. I personally find myself not wanting to use any gas even though I know that is not realistic or the intent of this vehicle.
- Max Regen requires some skill to truly maximize regen. Using it wrong can actually work against you. Key is to use it at the right time (i.e. not on the highway) and to not let it slow you down too aggressively by keeping your foot lightly on the accelerator (unless you need to come to a full stop) as it will cost you more power to get back up to speed than you earned by slowing down too much.
- Accleration is awesome compared to my ā12 JK even in 100% electric mode.
- 300 miles and gas tank still on FULL. I would be refillling my JK about now albeit I did have 35's on the JK and only 33's on the 4xe.
- Getting 24-26 all electric miles pretty consistently. Curious to see how this changes in winter.
- Another 25-50 electric miles would be awesome but baby steps.....
- Would be great to have the option to set Max Regen and electric as the default instead of having to press each time you start the car.
