Learn About Jeep 4xe PHEV Models in Conroe
As the car industry continues its shift toward electrification, EVs have become more popular and practical than ever. However, they're not the only way to enjoy improved efficiency and emissions-free operation. Plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV), like Jeep® 4xe models, are a great way for Houston-area drivers to get the EV experience without switching to 100% battery power.
What is the Jeep® 4xe Powertrain?
PHEVs work similarly to regular hybrid models in that they leverage an electric powertrain to assist a gas engine. The result is higher efficiency, smoother acceleration, and increased power. PHEVs also charge as you drive and can function normally with just gasoline. However, their larger batteries require external charging for optimal efficiency and performance. Primary PHEV advantages include electric-only operation and eligibility for a $3,750 Federal Tax Credit.
Jeep® 4xe modes combine a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with an electric motor, increasing performance to 375 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. Power runs to all four wheels through a smooth-shifting 8-speed automatic transmission, while a dedicated battery improves EPA-estimated efficiency and enables electric-only capability. Jeep 4xe models don't require a special charging installation, as they can replenish their battery overnight (~10-12 hours) using a standard 120-volt household-style outlet.
