Should I take a Road Trip in an EV?

EV technology continues to evolve, but some people still worry about driving long distances in these green vehicles. We understand that here at Helfman Dodge Chrysler Jeep® RAM FIAT, but we also think that the Jeep Wrangler 4xe electric range is actually quite impressive. We think that we have reached the point where electric and hybrid vehicles are ready to handle most road trips, and we’ll tell you a few reasons why.

Long Driving Ranges

Our hybrid models use a combination of gasoline and electric power, which means that they get the most out of every gallon of fuel. They offer impressive MPG ratings and that means that they can drive for a long time without needing fuel. You spend more time getting to your destination and less time pulling over, looking for a place to refuel.

Let’s use the Jeep Wrangler 4xe as an example. It has an impressive driving range of around 370 miles, according to manufacturer estimates. You can make a lot of progress before it’s time to stop for gas and charging.

Fast-Charging Tech

The Jeep Wrangler 4xe and similar models are also compatible with Level 2 charging technology. You won’t be waiting around forever to top off your battery. The right charger can fill up your battery in around two hours and more of these charging stations are being added all of the time.

The Jeep brand is even helping with the installation of solar-powered charging stations in some more interesting areas. New chargers could be coming to your favorite trails soon.
