When Jeep announced the Wrangler 4xe, the company said that they would be installing electric vehicle chargers at popular trail sites across the country. As time progressed, we learned these chargers would be implemented by Electrify America and that they would be solar powered. Now we’ve had a chance to see one up close.
At the first drive program for the 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe, Jeep delivered one of the Beam EV Arc solar charging units to the off-road site. These units are then installed with level 2 Electrify America wall chargers and given a big dose of Jeep branding.
Two level 2 chargers can be installed on the unit, and the unit can deliver around 9 kW of total power distributed between both chargers. If there’s only one charger plug in, a Wrangler 4xe can recoup 100% of its electric range in approximately 2 hours.
While not the fastest chargers in the world, they’re powered entirely by the sun. A large solar panel is attached to the top of the unit, and it’s connected to a motor that repositions the panel throughout the day.
