5 Steps for Jeep EV Home Charger Installation
Electrify Your Drives with a New Jeep EV from Gillman CJDR!
Driving electric doesn't mean giving up capability-and with electrified models like the plug-in hybrid Jeep Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe, and the all-new, all-electric Jeep Wagoneer S, you don't have to. At Gillman Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram, we're proud to offer a growing lineup of Jeep plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles that deliver legendary off-road performance with added efficiency. To help you get the most out of your new Jeep EV, installing a Level 2 home charger with the help of Qmerit Free2Move Charge is a smart, convenient way to power up between adventures. Below, we'll walk you through the five easy steps to get your charger professionally installed at home.
Step 1: What is the First Step to Getting a Level 2 Charger?
​Jeep has partnered with Qmerit to simplify the process of installing a Level 2 home charger for your new Jeep 4xe or all-electric vehicle. The first step involves completing a quick online assessment through Qmerit's installation portal. In just 5-10 minutes, you'll answer a few questions about your home's layout and electrical panel and upload some photos of where you'd like your charging station installed. This information allows Qmerit to provide you with a free, commitment-free estimate tailored to your specific setup. With this streamlined approach, you can confidently move forward with your home charging installation, knowing that Jeep and Qmerit have made the process as straightforward as possible.
Step 2: Receive Estimate
​After completing your online assessment, Qmerit will review your information and provide a personalized estimate for your Level 2 home charger installation. This estimate typically includes the installation of a hardwired charging station or a NEMA 14-50 outlet, labor, materials, and a one-year warranty on all electrical work. While the standard installation cost does not cover the purchase price of the Level 2 charger itself, Qmerit can assist you in selecting and purchasing a suitable charging station if needed. By providing a clear and detailed estimate upfront, Qmerit ensures transparency and helps you make informed decisions about your home charging setup.​
Step 3: Schedule Appointment
​After you've reviewed and approved your personalized estimate, Qmerit will connect you with a certified installer from their trusted network. These professionals are thoroughly vetted, holding current business and electrical licenses, as well as necessary insurance coverage. They also undergo rigorous background checks to ensure your safety and peace of mind. Your assigned installer will reach out to confirm the project details, discuss any required permits, and schedule the installation at a time that's convenient for you. This step ensures that your home charging setup is handled by a qualified expert, providing a seamless and secure installation experience.​
Step 4: Expert Installation
Once your installation is scheduled, a certified Qmerit electrician will arrive at your home to perform the installation. These professionals are licensed, insured, and background-checked, ensuring a safe and reliable service. The installation typically takes two to four hours, depending on your home's specific requirements. The electrician will handle all aspects of the installation, including any necessary upgrades to your electrical panel, ensuring that your home is equipped to support the new Level 2 charger. They will also manage the permitting process and ensure the installation complies with local codes and regulations. After the installation, the electrician will test the system to confirm everything is functioning correctly and provide you with guidance on using your new charger. With Qmerit's comprehensive service, you can be confident that your home charging setup is both efficient and safe.​
Step 5: Enjoy Faster Charging at Home
With your Level 2 home charger installed, your Jeep EV is ready for efficient, overnight charging. This setup ensures your vehicle is fully charged and ready to go each morning, providing the convenience of starting your day with a full battery. For instance, the Jeep Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe, equipped with a 17.3 kWh battery pack, achieve a full charge in approximately 2 hours using a Level 2 charger, offering an all-electric range of up to 21 miles and 25 miles, respectively. Meanwhile, with its 100 kWh battery, the all-electric Jeep Wagoneer S takes approximately 6.8 hours to reach a full charge using a Level 2 charger, delivering an estimated range of nearly 300 miles. By utilizing a Level 2 charger, you can ensure your Jeep EV is always ready for your next adventure, with the added benefit of faster charging times compared to standard Level 1 chargers.​
