That's the problem with EVs it depends heavily on social behaviour.

Something that isn't much of an issue at the gas pumps, other than the odd people who decide it's a good idea to wash their 2005 Cobalt SS with the squeegee after pumping gas.

 

can i ask a semi related question here, rather than start a new thread??
left my 4xe plugged into my Emporia EVSE level 2 overnight as i wanted to remote start it next morning in 20 deg weather to 'pre-condition' the HV battery while warming up the cabin, etc. it was on remotely for maybe 5 minutes and when i got into the Jeep the battery charge was at 98% and my charge indicator lights were on(5th light blinking) I thought the level 2 or level 1 chargers provided a trickle charge while plugged in and battery reached full charge? i also thought the heating elements (seath, wheel heater, and fan) would draw from the hardwired EVSE and not the HV battery while plugged in? Thoughts?

Normal.

Ours does the same thing.

 

Yep same here. I have an emporia charger and adjusted the max charging rate to 32A

 

The charge rate on the EVSE doesn't really matter. You can have an 80 Amp charger but your 4xe will only accept 32 Amps of that 80.

Our chargepoint is on a 50amp circuit so it operates at 40 Amps. The Jeep just maxes out it's charging curve at 7.6kw and will only pull 32 Amps.

 

The Wrangler 4xe doesn't have that setting. The only way I have been able to adjust charging speed is to use the phone app with my Autel Maxicharger. It will let me adjust the charging speed from 6 to 40 amps (although the Jeep will only take up to 32amps charging speed).

 

I don't think I'd call that the default setting. It just happens to be the setting someone put yours on before it was purchased/delivered.

But yes... Adjusting that speed is also a sneaky way of maxing your 2 hourish parking time limit when at a free public charger and not filling up in an hour and sitting idle at 100%.

Hogging a charger for the sole purpose of free parking, is as bad as a Dodge RAM or F150 parking there blocking the charger.
