Why Buy an EV in Michigan

There are plenty of compelling reasons why investing in an EV is a smart move, and it all begins with its positive impact on the environment by leaving behind a smaller carbon footprint and emitting zero harmful gases while cruising. But that's just the beginning – owning an electric vehicle also has many other perks. Let's kick things off with the financial aspect: charging up your EV will only set you back around $1.16 per electric gallon, a far cry from the significantly higher price of a gallon of gasoline. Plus, you'll make fewer trips (or possibly none) to the gas station when you switch to an electric ride. Charging up becomes as easy as plugging in your vehicle at home, just like you would with your trusty smartphone or tablet. Speaking of expenses, maintaining an electric vehicle is lighter on the wallet compared to traditional gasoline-powered engines. Say goodbye to routine oil changes and belt replacements, and wave hello to reduced brake repairs. And here's the cherry on top: as the automotive landscape shifts more and more towards embracing EVs, choosing to invest in an electric vehicle positions you to grow equity wisely.

Throughout the years, Jeep has consistently rolled out some of the most cutting-edge SUVs on the market. And now, with the Wrangler and Grand Cherokee 4xe models, that legacy of excellence continues. When you pop the hood of the Wrangler 4xe, you're greeted with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, which joins forces with a battery pack and two electric motors to create a robust output of 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. This powertrain combo rockets the Wrangler 4xe from 0 to 60 mph in a swift six seconds (or even less) while providing an impressive water-fording capability of up to 31.5 inches. If you need a larger ride to accommodate your kids and all their gear, the Grand Cherokee 4xe steps up to the plate. This SUV takes electrified power and sophistication to new heights. Notably, it can handle towing duties of up to 6,000 pounds, all while boasting a slew of standout features and maintaining its off-road prowess.

Not only do the Wrangler and Grand Cherokee 4xe deliver impressive power, but they also come packed with a wealth of technology that's sure to thrill drivers. These remarkable vehicles use a hybrid powertrain that seamlessly combines gas and electric elements, working perfectly to offer exceptional capability, allowing you to make the most of the 25 miles of electric driving range. For an immersive experience, we highly recommend engaging Electric Mode in your Wrangler or Grand Cherokee 4xe. This mode lets you fully embrace the outdoors, surrounded by a near-silent performance that allows you to tune into the natural sounds around you. And if you're aiming for the ultimate outdoor experience, don't forget that the Wrangler 4xe lets you remove the doors and roof, providing an unparalleled connection to the great outdoors.

Aside from the impressive turbocharged engine performance in both the Wrangler and Grand Cherokee 4xe, these vehicles also sport a robust 17.3 kWh battery at the heart of the vehicle. This powerhouse battery requires about two hours to charge, ensuring you can quickly return to your adventures. And don't fret about water damage—your battery is securely encased in waterproof housing, allowing you to traverse bodies of water without worry. Every Jeep 4xe battery is engineered for endurance, built to handle lengthy journeys across various terrains while maintaining a serene, silent ride. To add to the convenience, you can plan your route and quickly recharge along the way, thanks to access to numerous charging stations as you conquer the trails.

Rest assured, every hybrid vehicle comes equipped with cutting-edge technology, ensuring you can embark on journeys to even the most remote destinations without any concerns about range anxiety. This peace of mind stems from the harmonious fusion of technology and the gas engine working together. All 4xe models offer drivers the delight of a quiet and purely electric driving experience when you engage in Electric Mode. Even better, you have the flexibility to finely adjust the electric output to match your specific needs perfectly and then quickly recharge for your next adventure. Charging up is a breeze, thanks to the Regenerative Braking feature that cleverly charges your battery as you decelerate and apply the brakes. And if you're seeking an even more aggressive regeneration during lower pedal positions, the Max Regeneration feature remaps the accelerator pedal, allowing you to effortlessly slow down the 4xe without touching the brake pedal.
