Recon First Edition
First Trail Rated BEV — 650 HP with removable doors and roof. Same 11.5kW onboard charger as the Wagoneer S. 48A Level 2 handles it. Here's what its onboard charger actually needs from your home's electrical panel.
Home (Level 2) charging facts
Pulled straight from the Recon First Edition's onboard charger rating - not a generic EV number.
- Onboard charger draw
- 11.5 kW
- ~48A at 240V (kW × 1000 ÷ 240)
- Empty-to-full at max Level 2
- 8.7 hrs
- 100.5 kWh battery ÷ 11.5 kW
- Range added per hour
- ~29 mi/hr
- 11.5 kW × 2.49 mi/kWh efficiency
- DC fast charging
- 350 kW max
- Public chargers only - tapers as the battery fills
Typical full-speed install
48A charger on a 60A circuit
Reaches this car's 11.5 kW ceiling. Whether your panel has room for that circuit depends on everything else already on it - that's the actual assessment.
Connector
CCS
CCS (Combined Charging System) is the most common connector on non-Tesla EVs for both home Level 2 charging and public DC fast charging.
On the Recon First Edition specifically, that connector carries up to 11.5 kW at home on Level 2 and up to 350 kW on public DC fast hardware.
Charging speed by circuit size
The Jeep Recon's onboard charger can't use more than 11.5 kW AC no matter how big the circuit - past 48A, a bigger charger buys you nothing on this car.
| Charger setting | This car actually draws | Range added / hour | 8-hr overnight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 16A | 3.8 kW | ~10 mi | ~80 mi |
| 24A | 5.8 kW | ~14 mi | ~112 mi |
| 32A | 7.7 kW | ~19 mi | ~152 mi |
| 40A | 9.6 kW | ~24 mi | ~192 mi |
| 48A | 11.5 kWcapped by car | ~29 mi | ~232 mi |
Overnight, at full onboard speed
232 mi / 8 hrs
290 mi across a 10-hour window, at 11.5 kW.
Approximate cost to fill from empty
$13.07
Assumes $0.13/kWh (a national-average estimate, not your local rate) × 100.5 kWh - about $0.052/mile.
Jeep Recon charging questions
How long does it take to charge a 2026 Jeep Recon First Edition on a Level 2 charger?
About 8.7 hours from empty to full at its 11.5 kW onboard-charger ceiling (100.5 kWh battery ÷ 11.5 kW).
Times scale with amperage - see the circuit-size table above for other settings.
What amperage does a Jeep Recon draw on Level 2?
At its full 11.5 kW rate, the Jeep Recon draws about 48A at 240V (kW × 1000 ÷ 240 = amps).
Can a Jeep Recon use a 48-amp charger?
Not to any real benefit. The Jeep Recon's onboard charger tops out at 11.5 kW (~48A) - a 48A charger doesn't charge it any faster than one already sized to 48A.
How much range does a Jeep Recon add per hour on a Level 2 charger?
About 29 miles of range per hour at its 11.5 kW ceiling (11.5 kW × 2.49 mi/kWh efficiency).
How much range does an 8-hour overnight charge add to a Jeep Recon?
Roughly 232 miles from an 8-hour overnight charge (29 mi/hr × 8 hours), or about 290 miles across a 10-hour window.
What's the DC fast charging ceiling for a Jeep Recon?
Up to 350 kW on a public DC fast charger - well above its 11.5 kW Level 2 (home) ceiling, though DC fast rates taper as the battery fills.
