Dodge Hornet R/T At-Home Charging

Before diving into the Hornet R/T’s charging methods, we’d like to give you a closer look at how the Hornet R/T is powered. It combines a turbocharged 1.3L inline four-cylinder engine with an electric motor powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, resulting in formidable all-wheel drive. The turbocharged engine drives the front wheels, while the electric motor powers the rear, delivering 184 lb-ft of instant torque, 383 lb-ft of combined torque, and 288 horsepower. A six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters ensures precise control, and Active Torque Vectoring enhances cornering. The Hornet R/T boasts impressive efficiency at 77 MPGe and up to 32 miles of electric-only range, with a total range of 360 miles, embodying eco-consciousness and thrilling performance.

Whether you’re planning to buy a new Hornet R/T soon or have recently acquired one, you’re likely curious about its charging process. It’s a reasonable concern, given that the main distinction between a PHEV and a gasoline-powered car lies in the rechargeable battery. However, charging your Hornet R/T is a straightforward process that you can conveniently handle at home. Upon purchasing a new Hornet R/T, you’ll receive a Level 1 EV charger as part of the package. This charger plugs into a standard 120-volt home outlet and fully charges the 4xe’s battery in approximately 7.5 hours. With a Level 1 charger, it’s advisable to plug in your vehicle overnight for a hassle-free experience.

For a more efficient charging option, the recommended choice is the available Level 2 charger. This significantly reduces the Hornet R/T’s charging time to just two hours. This professionally installed charger is directly integrated into your home’s electrical system, allowing it to harness more power effectively. In fact, the Hornet R/T gains a full recharge from a level two charger in as little as 2.5 hours The Mopar Level 2 charger, provided by QMerit, offers additional benefits. It connects to your home’s WiFi router, enabling various functions such as monitoring your vehicle’s charging progress, controlling the charging process, and sending you notifications when electricity rates are at their lowest.
