How much is it costing you in electricity with the level 2 charger?
About an extra take of gas around $50
@@BrandonHaneline it costs you $50 in electricity for what?
Per tank of gas???
I thought you said it was 1.85?
$1.85 times 30 days is $55
Cost 1.85 in electricity to complete a full charge.
@@BrandonHaneline I thought you said it was 1.85 per tank which was 12 days?
We’ve had our 4xe for about 8 months now and with my wife’s 10 mile round trip commute and charging at home on level 1, we went over 1,200 miles before topping off the tank and still had 1/4 tank of gas. We finally topped it off because the refresh gas/oil mode kept kicking in. So as a daily driver with a short commute, it’s basically an electric car.
I literally click your videos and watch because I see "How far will it go?" and a few min video instead of 20-goddamn-minutes from other channels where I'm going to hear about how the host used to pluck feathers off of homeless pigeons before getting back to the car.
Thank you!!
Any time brother lol
I could not agree more. Short and to the point.
What about a test from A to B in only one charge and full tank ? Total range ? That will be interesting.
i been looking for this video for almost 2 years. thanks for takin the time making the video
Thank you Brandon for all your videos - every one is proof of your profound knowledge about Jeeps.
We have been following you from the beginning and bought our 2.0L Rubicon with one touch sky, new in 2019 because of all your high quality information. It seems to be time to upgrade to a 4xe Rubicon!
Greetings from Switzerland - you’re the best!
So awesome!!! Thank you sooo much!! Y’all are great!!
@@BrandonHaneline
...you are more than welcome! The Information is alway very substantial. Producing the instructive videos is surely a lot of work as well!
So spot on. My 4xe Rubicon is on order, but we bought a Pacifica Hybrid in Jan. Our first tank of gas was with the level 1 charger and we got about 750 miles on the first tank of gas. We had the level 2 installed and went about 1350 miles on the second tank! Third tank now the weather has warmed up (cold temps reduce your battery life in the Pacifica Hybrid) and she is over 1500 miles with over a 1/4 of a tank still left! Amazing. Should make it to 1700 miles. Because so many of our trips are 25 miles or less round trip we are able to charge in between. With the level 2 that means about 70% charge in an hour or full charge in about 1 hour 40 minutes.
This is the benefit of EV. If you don’t plan on charging much, or drives lots of longer trips, the 4xe may not be the right Jeep.
Amen to that!!
This is the video I have been looking for great video man. I have a Jeep jl now with the 2,0 and been thinking about getting this one Bc I drive about 10 miles a day. And I get 10 Per gallon. Now. Lol and my manual recommends premium gas.
Once again great video I really like how you broke down the fuel calculation estimate. Level two charger is definitely the way to go. 30.5 Miles per gallon combine is great for a JLU that is 5000> pounds and arrow dynamics like a 🧱 brick.
Thank you!!
Great video very informational
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed!!
I own an Sahara 4xe for 6months now and I commute daily 70miles exact from my driveway to my work parking spot "one way" in California, from central valley to the bay area. Full charge gave me 28 miles range. Full tank of gas at 389 miles tops by far. I'm going over 3 hills driving anywhere from 73-80 mph. Once i get to my destination, it took 1 gas bar if you look at your gauge. This only happens if you fill up a full tank. Other then that, it's almost a quarter tank one way trip for me. Long commute not worth it especially if you drive over 65mph. You get more miles depending on your driving conditions and keep it under 65mph and if your driving less then 13-15 or so miles one way. That way you save more on gas and set on electric mode if possible. Tire pressure plays a role also and weight of the vehicle. Hope this helps. Jeep could of gave us 80 miles range on charge would be nice.
Great job.
Thank you!!
Awesome! I never miss your 4xe videos. I love that the 4xe is "designed for" only electric, or hybrid sometimes plugged in, or hybrid without being plugged in. Now that we have the MPG for "hybrid sometimes plugged in," I (and a few other commenters) would love to get the MPG for "hybrid without being plugged in." Got any long road trips planned?
It’s all in the plans.
@@BrandonHaneline Sweet!
@@BrandonHaneline I have a question
How do you warm up your car?
In winter climates that’s a normal thing
But if you start it with auto start
Does the e system preheat for warm air?
What if you only go 7 miles to work
On electric mode the gas wouldn’t kick in, are there “insta Heat” elements for the vents?
@@tedpendagast579 there's a separate heating element so heat from the engine isn't needed
@@asymptomatic84 any idea how long it takes to heat up?
In the winter you auto start car to get it preheated (gets to below zero here for three months straight at night)
How would that work with the phev?
Would there be a preheat the cabin
Or do you jump in and the heater is like on demand hot air or what?
I'm at 500 miles on my 4XE and I still have a half tank of gas.
Oh yea that’s what I’m talking about!!!
Great succinct video, B! Did you just leave it in hybrid or did you switch to “electric” only mode manually in between?
Hybrid
Thank you so much for your videos! I've been wanting a JEEP since I was a teenager!!! Question for you... I'm planning to purchase the 4xe and use it daily for my mobile notary business. I will be driving all through the city of Atlanta and also the many surrounding cities. Do you think this truck is one of the best fits for my mobile business?
A lot of variables to consider when compared to a regular JL. 4xE is 850lbs heavier, $7-8k more expensive but govt incentive makes it even. 25-30 miles on charge only on a 17.3 kw battery. Now if it could go 50 miles on the same battery charge I would buy it. My round trip is around 38-40 miles/ day
Great video, I’d still love to have you on the show.
Yes do it. How can I contact you.
I would like to see mpg with no charging just hybrid mode. Would it be worth it not charging at all?
My commute is 22 miles each way. I can charge at the office on a level 2 charger. I managed 1100 miles on my first full tank, half of which was charged at home level 1, half on 220 level 2 I quickly added. I'm onto my second tank now and forecast about 3000 miles, not withstanding the stale fuel message I've yet to experience.
Plug-in hybrids excel at commuting to work during the weekdays with overnight charges. Plug-in hybrids generally do worse when you're travelling long distances (interstate driving) because regardless of the vehicle, the milage will ultimately depend on the fuel efficiency of the gas engine. So if your driving pattern is mostly daily commutes to work nearby, then a plug-in hybrid is a good fit. However, if you travel long distances frequently and you insist on lowering your use of fossil fuels then diesel is the better choice.
In most cases if the goal is to save money over the time you own the vehicle, you may be better off getting a standard powertrain available since at least with today's fuel prices you won't recoup the upfront costs of diesel or plug-in hybrids.
That said, you may have other reasons to choose diesel or PEV and pay the extra costs. If you need the extended range and torque for overlanding and won't be able to charge regularly while away then diesel may be worth the extra money. If you want the ability to traverse a trail in almost complete silence with more torque than available on gasoline-only vehicles or your daily commute is around 20 miles or so and you like the convenience of not having to purchase fuel as often then the plug-in hybrid may be the right choice for you.
How is a PHEV more expensive when on a lease you get a $7,500 rebate?
Nice
Any idea what MPG would be like if you just kept it in hybrid mode, with the brake regen button on all the time, but didn't plug in often? Would it be bad because you'd be using gas to charge the battery a lot? I'm interested in a 4xe, but I don't think I'll be able to plug it in very often.
Me too! Lots of people live in apartments and don't have anywhere to plug in, but still want better mileage and to plug in when they can.
this makes more sense. I can't always charge and may drive 300 miles one way
How about a test with a full battery charge and full tank. Going on a trip with no charging.
I have the same question!
Same question!
@Saltponds239 and how much impact did that make on your fuel efficiency?
@Saltponds239 mmmk help me out
How much did your solar panels cost to install
What kinds of rebates or incentives did you get for them?
And do you know how the 7500 tax rebate for the phev will work?
Any experience and foresight is greatly appreciated in advance
@Saltponds239 I have a 2013 wrangler
Also looking to upgrade but don’t need to.
I got a few payments left (about a year) so if I can pick up a new vehicle for slightly more payments I’m good
I have equity in current vehicle for a trade
Just looking at options of the electric vehicle offsets increase in payments then win win
How did you install panels for free?
The panels themselves didn’t cost anything!
tx ! we r confused which level two harger to get? Any suggestions? We have correct electric but was still wondering if we should go with mopar because of batterie warranties??????Please any help. Our first Jeep Sahara 4xe
My diesel 3.0 wrangler gets 31 mpg with no headaches at all, and driving normal. If I feather and drive for economically, 33 mpg , no problem
But your oil changes are $300
Lol they getcha either way! Lol
Thank you for this very insightful video. The answer to the question that I can't seem to find is: what approximate distance, using gas and electric combined (on a single charge), might I be able to travel? In other words, what distance in miles might I be able to expect to be getting that ~49mpg before I deplete the battery and it reverts to the all-gas mode? Everything seems to default back to, "well here's what it can do on all electric..." or "here's what it can do using just gas..." However, I'd like to know how far I can travel getting that ~49mpg if I, say, jump on the highway for a long road trip. Has anyone seen a demo? Would welcome the link to that. Sincere thanks!
Here's the best answer I got.
The 49mpge range measures how far you can go on 1 full charge + 1 gallon of gas. This does not get 49mpg 24/7.
25 miles on all electric.
17.2 gallon tank that gets 21 mpg = additional 346 miles assuming you ran it down to almost empty and used 16.5 gallons out of that 17.2
Additionally, during that journey, the gas engine will charge the battery through regen and allow you to drive an additional 25 miles of battery only.
25 + 346 + 25 = 396 miles with a full charge leaving the house and using 16.5 gallons of fuel = approx 24 mpg plus the $1.50 in electrical costs to initially charge the battery.
This doesn't shine on long highway trips. It shines on
How far were you driving it each time during that 12 days? I wonder how it would perform if you drove it 100 miles each day?
Is that on 1 full tank and 1 full charge? Or did you charge to full everyday?
I have a 4XE and was able to drive it 2,250 miles on one tank of gas charging it every day. All short tips of course
Update with modern gas prices hahahaha
Have you covered how powerful your Jeep's onboard charger is? With my Tesla I can plug into a 240 volt plug (essentially a dryer plug) and charge at 31 miles/hour. So instead of making everyone buy a level 2 charger, Jeep should "simply" upgrade the onboard charger? I wish the Gladiator was available as a 4xe!
It will be soon.
Is it possible to charge the larger battery with solar panels
Thank you for doing these videos. It's a shame we are being forced into an entirely electric situation, by the money changers. This 4xe seems to be the best system today. Very informative videos.
I think its early to buy 4xe right now . I will wait for full electric jeep .
How about the form on winter days?
My car is 2021 Rubicon 4xe. What type of fuel you using?
How does it sound during the rain with a retractable top, is it very noisy or average?
Sounds normal. Actually soothing!! Lol. It’s normal.
Hi Brandon - what Level Two charger did you purchase?
This is the one I have at home. amzn.to/3q7FZuN I have others on my website that are good also. www.Brandonhaneline.com
How much did the charging cost you??
It's not free
Wondering what this will do for mileage on a long trip. Driving in hybrid, waiting for the batt to reach
It takes forever to get back to 70%. Also it uses more gas on esave.
What level 2 charger do you recommend?
Charge point amzn.to/3aH793B
Are you familiar with the fuel economy in 4xe Sahara v 4xe Rubicon? Are rubicons still slightly less economic? Having a hard time deciding (again. - currently own a Saharah v6 jlu)
Yes. The Rubicon has slightly less fuel economy
Due to the bigger tires
What mode did you drive it in e-save?
No electric and hybrid. Never e-save.
Your 1.85 per charge seems high. What does your power company charge you per kw? Here is florida it’s .06 cents. 17.3 x .06 is 1.04
I’m at $0.125 per KW
@@BrandonHaneline
Wow! Where do you live?
NC.
I'm getting mine in two days and I'll be honest, this is giving me a headache. I'm only getting this because of a huge rebate from Ally financial. A Willy's would have cost more per month.
Awesome!!
I’m in California what’s the best gas to use ?
87,89,91 ? Or it doesn’t matter
It requires 87 good man likes 93 gives it a little more pep
@@BrandonHaneline thanks cuz I was like 91 or 87 cuz gas over here ain’t no joke almost 5$ a gallon 😅
What the heck. Definitely 87
How much does the Level 2 charger cost?
The cost of the charger can range from 500-100O but it has to be install by a electrician. That could be around 500 also. .
That would double my mpg.
It’s really an awesome vehicle!
My brand new jeep is only doing 15mpg can you tell me why
Electric?
For those wondering , he used 93 octane
Too lazy to google forgive me: how many gallons of fuel does it hold? is it 16.2
Tank is 17.2 gallons.
ruclips.net/video/W3LybOltNEU/видео.html
Does it need Premium since it is a turbo?
No. The owners manual recommends 87 octane with a maximum of 15% ethanol
@@BrandonHaneline Awesome! I heard something about the 2.0T needing premium but that's awesome that it doesn't!
@@mikeperez5567 My subaru wrx had a 2.0T and recommended premium. I just bought this Jeep and very surprised it doesn't recommend premium.
BS. So how much to drive coast to coast across the country without charging?
You would get a lot more smiles per gallon if you got a mytop
3.19 per gallon ?
Premium
This is silly. If your daily travel is less than 20, your gas will technically last you forever if you charge it every day!!!
Not any better than just burning gas and not having to plug it in what a joke 😂
Whats the point of this? This is just a function for how much you drive between charges.
I you charge every 20 miles, you'd have infinite mpg. Again, not sure the point.
Another RUclipsr who don’t mention the whole range with everything full… 🤣🤣🤣
This is a pure cheating. Because the hybrid system simply doesn’t work if the battery is discharged. My avalon was not plugin and was regular hybrid. I was getting 40-45mi/gallon. This jeep simply shuts off the hybrid system once the battery goes -1%. There is basically no difference between e-save mode and hybrid once the battery is down. Also despite I set e-save mode to battery charging it does nothing to charge it. On a discharged battery, in “hybrid” mode the jeep is giving 15mi/gallon in city (like fort lee, without any traffic) and 20mi on highway. It’s brand nee and I have only 153mi on it. I will update a week later. I will travel to DC from NY this weekend and will see the consumption.
