Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a PHEV?
A: PHEV is a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. PHEVs have a gas engine and electric motor that you can charge up with the included charging cable.
Q: How does PHEV work?
A: A PHEV works by using either the gas engine, the electric motor, or both. It is possible to drive solely off the electric motor. The PHEV will transition seamlessly between the two or both as needed, and you can use driving modes to set your preferences. The gas engine can charge the battery for the electric motor, but you'll get the most out of efficiency if you charge up the battery before you go.
Q: What Jeep® brand models will be 4xe?
A: Jeep plans to offer 4xe technology on all models by 2025.
Q: How do you charge a PHEV?
A: A PHEV is as easy to charge as plugging in your cellphone. You can plug the included charger into a regular outlet at your house. We have also teamed up with Amazon to install fast chargers in customers' homes so you can charge quickly like the public charging stations. You can also charge at a public charging station which are spread out all over the nation.
Q: Will my plug-in hybrid keep running when the battery runs out of charge?
A: Yes, a PHEV has a gas engine so that you can drive using gas when the battery runs out.
Q: Is a plug-in hybrid worth it?
A: A plug-in hybrid offers exceptional fuel efficiency without sacrificing performance and allowing you to go longer between gas fillups. If you are looking to reduce your carbon footprint and contribute less to emissions, a plug-in hybrid is a great way to take the next step into a carbon-neutral future and reduce your impact.
Q: What is the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid?
A: The 2021 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid is the only hybrid minivan on the market right now. It has an excellent electric range of 32-miles and a gas range of 488-miles for a combined range of 520-miles. This is the perfect family vehicle if you love going on road trips!
Q: Does Dodge make hybrid or electric vehicles?
A: Not yet. However, the CEO has said that the future of muscle cars will be electric as the technology improves, it is becoming clear that electrification will offer enough power to be impressive and offer muscle car lovers the power they crave.
When will RAM make a hybrid or electric truck?
A: It is most likely that RAM will come out with a hybrid version of the RAM 1500 first, but those plans are still in the works. With three Jeep® brand models slated to come to market as the hybrid 4xe versions, we look forward to the premiere of a hybrid RAM pickup truck and, eventually, an all-electric version.
