The Jeep 4xe range of vehicles is a great jumping on point if you’d like to dabble in the world of electric vehicles. The two models – Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe – are plug-in hybrid versions of their popular counterparts, offering the same great capabilities and rugged looks with the added benefit of an electric motor. This enables a small amount of all-electric driving range, which you can find according to the EPA. But as we’ve learned from fuel economy ratings, the EPA is a great guideline but isn’t 100% precise, so what can you expect from the Jeep 4xe range in real-world Oklahoma?
EPA vs. Everyday Driving
According to the EPA, the 2025 Jeep Wrangler 4xe is officially rated for 21 miles of all-electric range, while the Grand Cherokee 4xe is rated for 26 miles. The EPA determines its ratings via standardized lab tests, but there are a number of factors that can make real-world results vary from these official numbers.
- Driving speed and style
- Elevation changes
- Temperature
- Use of climate control
- Payload and towing
You can basically take the official ratings as an average, as most drivers see 18-24 and 22-28 miles of electric range, respectively, according to many owner reports.
Oklahoma-Specific Considerations
The climate here in Oklahoma plays a big role in how well EVs perform, and that includes the electric range of your 4xe model. You’re more likely to hover around the EPA-estimated range during spring and fall, and in the winter your battery efficiency can be reduced by 15-25%, meaning a few less miles of range.
While that’s working against you, one thing that works in your favor about Oklahoma is our relatively flat terrain and low traffic congestion. These two things can actually help increase your driving range, especially while driving in Hybrid Mode, which blends electric and gas power for optimal efficiency.
How Far Can You Go on a Charge?
Much like with fuel economy ratings, your electric driving range will vary based on the kind of driving you’re doing. The following list gives you a quick look at what you can expect from a full charge in real-world Oklahoma driving:
- Wrangler 4xe
- City driving: 22–24 miles
- Highway driving: 17–20 miles
- Mixed driving: 20–22 miles
- Grand Cherokee 4xe
- City driving: 25–28 miles
- Highway driving: 20–23 miles
- Mixed driving: 23–26 miles
These numbers reflect the average range of typical use, which means moderate acceleration and normal HVAC use. If you’re towing a heavy load, hauling a lot of extra gear, or driving aggressively, your electric driving range might be lower. They also only reflect your electric driving range, but for a better picture of how far you can go on a full charge, we should also include your gas driving range with a full tank.
- Wrangler 4xe
- 370 miles
- Grand Cherokee 4xe
- 470 miles
Tips to Maximize Your 4xe Range
There are plenty of tips and tricks you can follow to get the most out of the electric driving range of your 4xe model. We’ve included a few of the best to help you maximize your range:
- Precondition your cabin while plugged in, reducing the energy needed by your HVAC
- Use regenerative braking’s Max Regen mode, recapturing as much energy as possible
- Drive in Hybrid Mode for longer trips, balancing overall efficiency
- Keep tires properly inflated, reducing rolling resistance
This information should give you a better understanding of the range you’ll have from a Jeep 4xe model. With Oklahoma’s low electricity rates, you’re only looking to spend a little more than $2 each time you fully charge your vehicle. That makes driving incredibly affordable for short-distance daily driving in particular, but anyone can benefit from a bit of electric range.
