Chargers on the Jeep 4xe Charging Network will either be solar-powered or connected to a power grid. It will as part of a partnership with Electrify America.

The first of the stations will open this spring in Moab, Utah; the Rubicon Trail in Pollock Pines, California; and Big Bear, California.

The chargers will have Level 2 (240 volts) charging, which Jeep notes will fully recharge the 17-kWh battery pack in its Wrangler 4xe in about two hours and provide 49 MPGe and 21 miles of electric range.

The chargers will be available free to Jeep 4xe owners via a mobile app and will be compatible with its future EVs.

The announcement comes a few days after Jeep unveiled its concept for an all-electric Wrangler, called the Magneto.
