Home-Charging Your Jeep 4xe: Costs, Gear & Overnight Time in Oklahoma

Published on Jun 28, 2025 by Jim Glover Creative Team

A few years ago, Jeep introduced the perfect entry point for those looking to enter the world of electric vehicles but who aren’t ready to give up the capabilities and style of their Jeep vehicles. Adopting the 4xe nameplate, these Jeep models are plug-in hybrid versions of the brand’s popular models. Thus far, only the Wrangler and Grand Cherokee have received 4xe trim levels, but a Gladiator 4xe is rumored to be on the horizon and these models helped pave the way for the brand’s first fully electric vehicle, the Jeep Wagoneer S.

 

Whether you’ve already jumped onto Jeep’s foray into the world of electric vehicles or you’re looking to join, it’s important to know the details about home-charging your Jeep 4xe model here in Oklahoma. Today we’re going to make sure you’re armed with all the information you need to charge smart and efficiently, including details on costs, necessary gear and overnight time.

Level 1 vs. Level 2: Choose Your Charging Speed

There are currently three different levels of EV charging, including Level 3 which represent the DC public fast-charging stations you can find throughout the country. While these are great for long-distance travel and for a recharge while you’re away from home, home-charging should be the main source of power your vehicle receives. Yet even at home there are two different levels of charging, with Level 1 being possible in any standard 120-volt outlet throughout your home.

 

Level 1 charging is the most convenient option as it requires no extra equipment or setup, but it’s also incredibly slow. Charging times will vary from vehicle to vehicle, but you could be looking at charge time ranging from 12 to 14 hours with standard Level 1 charging. You should instead look to Level 2 home-charging if possible, as it will significantly reduce charging times and only requires a bit of extra equipment and installation.

Installation & Gear: What You’ll Need

If you’re on board with Level 2 charging, you’ll need to install a home charging station. While you can choose to purchase and install third-party units, you could also opt for an official Jeep charging station and we’d be happy to help you out with that. Regardless, you’re going to be looking to spend about $500-700 on the unit itself, and installation costs can range up to $2,000 if you want to have it installed properly by a professional. If you can afford the extra costs, it’s well worth it as a 4xe can be charged in roughly two hours compared to the 12 hours at Level 1.

Energy Rates in Oklahoma: Affordable Charging

We have some good news for you now, as Oklahoma is actually in the top 10 for the lowest residential electricity rates in the U.S. — averaging around 12.31 cents per kWh as of June 2025. Using the 2025 Jeep Wrangler 4xe as an example, its battery is 17.6 kWh, meaning it costs just a bit more than $2 to fully charge the 4xe at home. That’s quite a bit less expensive than fuel costs, especially if you charge regularly. 

Overnight Charging Time: Easy & Convenient

These rates can get even better if your utility provider offers a time-of-use (TOU) plan, which makes electricity cheaper during off-peak hours — which are typically at night, when you will likely be charging anyways. Talk with your energy provider to learn about their available TOU plans then analyze whether or not it would be worth it. The trade off of these plans is that rates are less expensive during off-peak hours, but can become more expensive during peak hours, so it’s important to assess your habits and lifestyle to determine if it’s actually worth it.

 

Regardless, charging overnight should be an easy and convenient option for you, even if you choose to stick with Level 1 charging. You can plug in your Jeep around 7:00 p.m. and it’ll be ready to go by 7:00 a.m., and these hours can be adjusted to fit your personal schedule. If you have any questions about charging your Jeep 4xe model at home, don’t hesitate to give us a call, we’d be happy to help.
