What home charger does the Jeep Wagoneer S need?
| Model years | Trims | Charger | Breaker |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024-2026 | all trims | 48 A | 60 A |
The Jeep Wagoneer S takes a 48 A charger on a 60 A breaker. It accepts 11.0 kW on AC in each model year from 2024 through 2026, so the same setup works for a new one or a used one.
Why 48 amps and not more
No home charger can push it past 11.0 kW, so there is no reason to buy more than 48 A. A 40 A unit gives up a little: a 2026 adds 25 miles of range per hour on it rather than 30. For most commutes, that still refills the day's driving with hours to spare.
Charging time by model year
| Year | EPA range | Level 2, miles per hour | Level 2, empty to full | 120 V, miles per hour |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 268 to 294 mi | 30 | 9.7 h | 4 |
| 2025 | 262 to 294 mi | 30 | 9.7 h | 4 |
| 2024 | 270 to 303 mi | 32 | 9.5 h | 4.2 |
Level 2 figures assume a charger that supplies the car's full rate. Where a year shows a range, it spans that year's trims.
The launch-year 2024 car is slightly quicker, at 32 miles of range per hour and 9.5 hours from empty. The 2025 and 2026 cars add 30 per hour and take 9.7 hours. Range sits between 262 and 303 miles.
What it costs to charge at home
At the U.S. average residential rate of 18.19¢ per kWh, the 2026 Jeep Wagoneer S costs 6.6 to 7.1¢ a mile to charge at home. A full charge from empty comes to about $19, and 37 miles a day to about $74 to $80 a month. EPA measures energy use at the wall, so the energy lost while charging is already counted. Rates run from 12.36¢ in North Dakota to 46.28¢ in Hawaii, and the cost guide has every state.
What the install involves
Measure the cable run before booking the electrician. The longer the path from the panel to the parking spot, the more heavy copper the job uses, and the more it costs. The charger itself is hardwired to a 60 A breaker, since no standard receptacle is rated for a 48 A load.
- 48 A charger: 60 A breaker, hardwired, because no household receptacle is rated for a 48 A charger.
- Dryer outlet: a 4-prong NEMA 14-30 on a 30 A breaker can run a 24 A charger. That adds about 15 miles of range per hour to the 2026 Jeep Wagoneer S, or 150 in a 10-hour night. What to check first.
- Charge port, 2024: J1772. Every non-Tesla EV sold in North America through 2024 uses the J1772 connector for AC Level 2 charging.
- Charge port, 2025-2026: J1772. From 2025 the industry is moving to the NACS port, and makers switch at different times. Some of these cars have a J1772 port and some have NACS with an adapter, so look at the port on your own car before choosing a charger's plug.
Chargers that fit the Jeep Wagoneer S
Smallest adequate unit first. Every amp above what the car accepts is capacity it never uses.
Energy monitoring built in. Hardwire it for the full 48 A.
Compact unit, good for tight garages.
Adjustable from 16 A to 50 A in the app, which helps if your panel is tight.

Common questions
- Does a 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S need a different charger from a 2026?
- No. Every year accepts 11.0 kW, so the same 48 A charger works.
- How long does a Jeep Wagoneer S take to charge from empty?
- About 9.5 to 9.7 hours on a 48 A charger.
- Can a Jeep Wagoneer S use a 40 A charger?
- Yes, on a 50 A breaker with a NEMA 14-50 outlet. A 2026 then adds 25 miles of range per hour instead of 30.
- How much does a 120 V outlet add to a Jeep Wagoneer S?
- About 4 to 4.2 miles of range per hour.
