Picked up my new 4xe Rubicon on Saturday. Of course, I mostly depleted the battery during my test drive that morning and by the time I got to the highway for the drive home (6.5 hours) I was at less than 1 percent battery. I drove the 4xe on Hybrid mode for the first 3.5 hours, then, reading somewhere that the battery would fully recharge in 2 hours at 55 mph, I switched to E-Save with the "Battery Charge" option checked in the settings menu. I took some pictures of the dash while driving so I could document how fast the 4xe charged.
2:35PM: <1% and the start of "E-Save with Battery Charging option checked"
3:06PM: 2% Battery
3:46PM: 9% Battery
4:35PM: 18% Battery
So, in a full two hours of driving at 75 mph with cruise control on, I only went from 1% to 18%. I would watch the hybrid screen page on UConnect and it appeared to me the vehicle was USING battery power more often that it was actually charging the battery.
I'm interested to know what results others are getting...
