Video Summary
Here is the summary of the YouTube video:- The Jeep Wrangler 4xe has three drive modes: Hybrid, Electric, and E-Save.
- Hybrid Mode allows the vehicle to decide when to use electric versus gas power.
- Hybrid mode generally uses all battery power before switching to gas.
- If a commute is longer than the battery range, do not use Hybrid to avoid activating fuel/oil refresh mode.
- Electric Mode keeps the Jeep running only in electric power. This is best for off-roading if you want to be quiet and have saved the electric for a specific purpose.
- If full throttle acceleration is applied, gas will be brought into the situation even in electric mode.
- E-Save will run gasoline only until you decide you want to run electric or hybrid.
- When in E-Save mode, the battery will hold with 5% being used before maintaining the remainder.
- E-Save in battery charge mode involves using the internal combustion engine to charge the battery to use later, which is inefficient.
- When the 4xe first came out, if the car was turned off, it would default to hybrid. The settings now lock the car to whichever setting was previously selected.
- If this is not working for you, then you are likely missing updates from your dealer.
- The Max Regen Button does not give you more power.
- Max Regen brings you closer to one pedal driving, as regeneration will kick in as soon as you release the throttle.
- You will feel the car slow down and see the gauge go into charge.
- Non-traditional brakes involve engaging the motor to regenerate power.
- If Max Regen is off, tapping the break engages the regen process, which you might get farther with coasting.
