I was today years old when I found out that my GC 4XE has a 7.4KWH on board charger and charging default speed is throttled to 3.6KWH. to adjust to get the max allowed with level 2 charging, set to high in the e-hybrid submenu of vehicle setting. hope this helps! This reduced my charging to 2 hours instead of 3 on level 2.

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?
