I loved the article until they gave props to Jeep’s trailside advertisements, also known as “solar chargers”.

I loved the article until they gave props to Jeep’s trailside advertisements, also known as “solar chargers”.

Totally useless though, more of a novelty.

The chargers will have Level 2 (240 volt) charging, which Jeep notes will fully recharge the 17-kWh battery pack in its Wrangler 4xe in about two hours and provide 49 MPGe and 21 miles of electric range. The chargers will be available free to Jeep 4xe owners via a mobile app, and will be compatible with its future EVs.
