Get the Wagoneer S Here at Prestige Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram!
Colorado winters bring stunning snow-capped views and freezing temperatures that can challenge any vehicle. If you're driving the all-electric Wagoneer S, you have a premium SUV designed for modern performance, even in the harshest conditions. At Prestige Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we want to ensure you get the most out of your Wagoneer S with practical tips for winter charging, preserving range, and maximizing comfort. Take a look at our tips below for keeping your Wagoneer S charged all winter long!
How Can You Avoid Range Anxiety for Your Wagoneer S in the Winter?
Worrying about running out of range in the middle of a Colorado winter is the last thing you need. Thankfully, the Wagoneer S makes it easy to plan for winter drives. Before heading out, use the Uconnect system to map your route, including charging stations along the way. This is especially important for longer trips, as cold weather slightly reduces your vehicle's range. Keep your Wagoneer S charged between 20% and 80%, as this range is ideal for maintaining battery health and ensuring peak performance. Fast-charging stations are widely available across Colorado, allowing you to top up quickly and efficiently.
Preconditioning: Your Winter Secret Weapon
There's nothing better than stepping into a toasty cabin on a frosty morning, and with preconditioning, your Wagoneer S delivers just that. This feature warms the cabin and optimizes the battery's temperature, improving its efficiency and range. You can activate preconditioning through your Wagoneer's infotainment system or the companion smartphone app. Schedule it to coincide with your departure time to ensure both you and your battery are ready to go. Preconditioning is especially beneficial when plugged into a charger, as it uses external power rather than draining the battery. It's just another way the Wagoneer S makes winter driving more convenient and enjoyable.
Extra Tips for Your Wagoneer S Charging Efficiency
Cold weather can slow down charging speeds, but a little preparation goes a long way. Charging indoors or in a sheltered area like a garage can help maintain the battery temperature and improve efficiency. If you haven't already installed a Level 2 home charger, Prestige Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram can assist with finding the right option for your needs. Additionally, keeping your Wagoneer S plugged in when parked helps preserve the battery's temperature and readiness, especially during extended periods of freezing weather. Simple habits like these ensure your SUV is always ready to tackle Colorado's snowy terrain.
How Can I Maximize My Wagoneer S's Battery Lifespan in Cold Weather?
Cold weather affects range and, if not correctly managed, the long-term health of your battery. To maximize the lifespan of your Wagoneer S battery, avoid letting it drop below 10% charge for extended periods. Regularly charging your vehicle and using features like preconditioning can help maintain optimal performance. If you're parking your Wagoneer S for several days in extreme cold, consider plugging it into a Level 2 charger to keep the battery warm and maintain its charge level.
