What EV Charger Do You Need for a 2025 Jeep Wagoneer S?
Forty-eight amps is the magic number for your home setup. That draw fills the 106.4 kWh battery from empty in 9.7 hours. You get 30 miles of range for every hour plugged into Level 2.
The numbers
| Maximum AC charging rate | 11.0 kW (48 A) |
|---|---|
| Charger size to buy | 48 A |
| Circuit breaker required | 60 A |
| Outlet / connection | hardwired (a 48 A EVSE must be hardwired -- no household receptacle is rated for it) |
| Charge port | J1772 |
| Full charge on Level 2 | about 9.7 hours |
| Range added per hour (Level 2) | about 30 miles |
| Full charge on a 120 V outlet | about 74 hours |
| Range added per hour (120 V) | about 4.0 miles |
| EPA rated range | 294 miles |
| Energy for a full charge | about 106.4 kWh at the wall |
Why 48 amps and not more
Your car accepts a maximum onboard rate of 11.0 kW, which translates directly to 48 amps. Buying a larger charging unit will not speed up the replenishment rate because the vehicle caps incoming AC power. A 48 amp supply feeds the onboard charger at its ceiling without wasting money on higher capacity hardware your vehicle cannot use. Pumping power at this rate handles a full daily commute recovery easily overnight. Stick to the 48 amp limit and you hit the sweet spot for charging speed.
What the install involves
You need a dedicated 60 amp breaker to feed the circuit safely. Hardwiring is mandatory because no standard household receptacle is rated for 48 amps of continuous current. Call an electrician to pull heavy gauge wire from the main panel to the garage wall. They will land the leads on the 60 amp breaker and check your service panel for spare capacity before mounting the unit.

Common questions
- What connector does my car use?
- It uses a J1772 connector. This model year falls in the industry transition period. Many vehicles ship with a NACS port and include an adapter for J1772 hardware, so check your port first.
- Can I use a standard wall outlet?
- No standard household outlet handles 48 amps. You must hardwire the charging unit directly to a high amperage circuit. Plug in options only work for much slower speeds.
- How long does a standard wall plug take?
- Level 1 charging takes 74 hours for a complete fill. That method yields only 4.0 miles of range per hour. You need Level 2 equipment for practical daily driving.
- What does the EPA charging time mean?
- The EPA rated time is 9.9 hours with a rate of 30 miles of range per hour. Testing parameters vary slightly from ideal maximum output conditions, which accounts for the minor difference against the peak 9.7 hour time.
Other vehicles
Charging times derived from EPA data for the 2025 Jeep Wagoneer S (covering 2 EPA trim listings). Electrical requirements follow NEC 625.41, which sizes a circuit at 125% of a continuous load. Always have a licensed electrician verify your panel.
