What Jeep is selling as fully electric in 2025

Jeep's only fully electric model for 2025 is the Jeep Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid and the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe plug-in hybrid — but neither is purely electric. The company has not yet released a fully battery-electric Jeep for the U.S. market. Jeep announced plans for an all-electric SUV called the Jeep Recon, expected to arrive in 2025, but as of now it has not reached dealerships.

What you will find at Jeep dealers in 2025 are plug-in hybrid models (4xe) that run on both gasoline and battery power. These vehicles can drive short distances on electric power alone — typically 20 to 30 miles — before the gas engine takes over. If you are looking for a Jeep that runs entirely on electricity with no gas engine, you will need to wait for the Recon or consider other manufacturers.

Key Takeaways

  • Jeep offers plug-in hybrid versions of the Wrangler and Grand Cherokee in 2025, but no fully electric Jeep models are currently available to purchase.
  • The Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe can run on battery power alone for 20 to 30 miles before switching to gasoline.
  • The Jeep Recon, an all-electric SUV, was announced for 2025 but has not yet arrived at dealerships.
  • Plug-in hybrids cost more than their gas-only counterparts but less than fully electric vehicles, and you can charge them at home or at public stations.

Jeep Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid specs and range

The Wrangler 4xe pairs a 2.0-liter turbocharged gas engine with an electric motor and a 17.3-kilowatt-hour battery. On electric power alone, it delivers roughly 20 to 25 miles of range depending on driving conditions and terrain. Once the battery depletes, the gas engine engages and you can drive another 300-plus miles on a full tank of fuel.

Charging the Wrangler 4xe at home on a standard 120-volt outlet takes about 10 to 12 hours for a full charge. A 240-volt home charger cuts that time to 2 to 3 hours. At public fast-charging stations, you can add significant charge in 30 minutes, though Jeep plug-in hybrids are not designed for the fastest DC fast-charging speeds that fully electric vehicles use.

The Wrangler 4xe comes in multiple trim levels — Sport, Sport S, Willys, Rubicon, and High Altitude — and pricing starts around $50,000 before options and destination fees. Towing capacity is 3,500 pounds, and the vehicle retains the Wrangler's off-road capability with four-wheel drive standard.

Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe plug-in hybrid specs and range

The Grand Cherokee 4xe uses a 3.0-liter turbocharged gas engine paired with an electric motor and a 17.9-kilowatt-hour battery. It delivers approximately 25 to 30 miles of electric-only range, slightly more than the Wrangler. Total driving range combining battery and fuel reaches 400-plus miles on a full charge and tank.

Charging times mirror the Wrangler: roughly 10 to 12 hours on 120 volts, 2 to 3 hours on 240 volts at home. The Grand Cherokee 4xe is available in Laredo, Limited, Overland, and Summit trim levels, with pricing starting around $60,000 before options. Towing capacity reaches 6,000 pounds, making it suitable for heavier trailers than the Wrangler.

Both the Wrangler and Grand Cherokee 4xe may have access to for a federal tax credit of up to $7,500 in the United States, though the exact amount depends on final assembly location, battery sourcing, and your income level. Check with your tax professional or the IRS website for your specific situation.

How plug-in hybrids differ from fully electric vehicles

A plug-in hybrid has both a gas engine and a battery, so you are never stranded without fuel. You can drive across the country without hunting for charging stations. A fully electric vehicle has only a battery, so range depends entirely on charge level and charging infrastructure along your route.

Plug-in hybrids cost less than comparable fully electric vehicles — a Wrangler 4xe runs roughly $10,000 to $15,000 less than a fully electric SUV from another manufacturer. However, you will still pay for gas, and maintenance costs for the gas engine are higher than for a purely electric vehicle. If most of your driving is short trips under 30 miles per day, you can run almost entirely on battery power and rarely use the gas engine.

Charging a plug-in hybrid at home is optional but convenient. You can also drive one without ever plugging it in — it straightforward operates as a regular hybrid, though you lose the electric-only range benefit. A fully electric vehicle requires charging to function at all.

When the Jeep Recon might arrive and what to expect

Jeep announced the Recon as an all-electric SUV designed for off-road use, with a target launch in 2025. As of now, it has not reached U.S. dealerships, and Jeep has not confirmed an exact arrival date. The Recon is expected to compete with other electric SUVs in the mid-size segment and will feature Jeep's traditional four-wheel-drive capability adapted for electric powertrains.

Details on pricing, range, and charging speed for the Recon remain limited. Jeep has indicated it will be positioned as a premium off-road electric vehicle, so expect pricing higher than the plug-in hybrid models. If you are interested in a fully electric Jeep, contacting a local Jeep dealer can provide the most current information on availability and expected delivery timelines.

Where to charge a Jeep 4xe and what it costs

At home, you can charge a Wrangler or Grand Cherokee 4xe using a standard outlet (slow) or a dedicated 240-volt charger (faster). A 240-volt home charger installation typically costs $500 to $2,500 depending on your electrical panel and how far the charger is from your service entrance. Many utilities offer rebates that offset part of this cost.

Public charging networks include ChargePoint, Electrify America, EVgo, and others. Costs vary by network and location — some charge by the hour, others by the kilowatt-hour. A typical charge at a public Level 2 station (240 volts) costs $2 to $5 and takes 2 to 4 hours. DC fast-charging, where available, costs more but is rarely necessary for plug-in hybrids since they have a gas engine backup.

Many employers, shopping centers, and apartment complexes now offer free or low-cost charging to customers and residents. Apps like PlugShare help you locate nearby chargers and see real-time availability and pricing.

Comparing 2025 Jeep electric and plug-in hybrid options to other brands

If you want a fully electric SUV right now, you have options from other manufacturers: the Ford Mustang Mach-E, Chevrolet Blazer EV, Hyundai Ioniq 5, and Kia EV9 are all available in 2025. These offer longer electric range (200 to 300+ miles) and faster charging than Jeep's plug-in hybrids, but they cost more and require more planning for long trips.

If you prefer a plug-in hybrid, the Toyota 4Runner Prime and Lexus NX 450h+ are comparable alternatives. Both offer similar electric range and charging times to the Jeep 4xe models, with different styling and brand loyalty considerations.

The choice depends on your driving patterns. If you drive mostly short distances and want the security of a gas engine for long trips, a plug-in hybrid makes sense. If you drive longer distances regularly and have reliable charging access, a fully electric vehicle may be more economical over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I drive a Jeep Wrangler 4xe or Grand Cherokee 4xe without ever charging it?

Yes. Both vehicles operate as regular hybrids if you never plug them in. The gas engine will power the vehicle and recharge the battery through regenerative braking. You will not get the electric-only range benefit, but the vehicle will function normally. However, you lose the main advantage of a plug-in hybrid, which is running on battery power for short daily trips.

How long does it take to charge a Jeep 4xe at a public charging station?

At a Level 2 public charger (240 volts), expect 2 to 4 hours for a full charge. DC fast-charging stations are rare for plug-in hybrids and not recommended by Jeep, since the battery is smaller than in fully electric vehicles. Most owners charge at home overnight or at work during the day.

What is the difference between the Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe?

The Grand Cherokee is larger, seats five comfortably, and has higher towing capacity (6,000 pounds versus 3,500). The Wrangler is smaller, more rugged, and better for extreme off-roading. Both have similar electric range and charging times. Choose based on size, seating, and intended use.

Will the Jeep Recon be cheaper than the Wrangler 4xe?

Jeep has not released pricing for the Recon. Fully electric vehicles typically cost more than plug-in hybrids, so the Recon will likely be priced higher than the Wrangler 4xe. Contact a Jeep dealer for the most current pricing information once the Recon becomes available.

Do Jeep 4xe models may have access to for a federal tax credit?

Yes, both the Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe may may have access to for a federal tax credit of up to $7,500, depending on final assembly location, battery component sourcing, and your household income. The credit amount varies, so consult a tax professional or the IRS website to determine your specific credit.
