EV Education
Driving electric is a completely new way to experience the road. At Feldman Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (CDJR) of Clarkston, we’re committed to helping you feel confident and informed as you consider an electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle.
From Clio to Lake Orion and right here in Clarkston, Michigan, more drivers are discovering the benefits of electric driving. This page is your starting point for understanding how CDJR electrified vehicles can enhance your lifestyle with convenience, efficiency, and performance.
Why Choose a Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram EV?
Whether you're commuting daily or heading up north for a weekend adventure, CDJR plug-in hybrids and upcoming EVs offer flexible solutions for modern Michigan drivers.
For example, the Jeep Wrangler 4xe delivers iconic off-road performance with all-electric capability—perfect for silent trail rides or everyday efficiency. If you’re seeking a more spacious road companion, the Chrysler Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid offers family-first tech with the added benefit of electric driving.
More than providing an electrified driving experience, these vehicles enhance everything drivers love about the CDJR lineup, from strength to style.
What to Expect From EV Ownership
Charging is essential to EV ownership, and with the number of choices available today, you can plug in wherever you are. You can use a standard 120V outlet for overnight charging or install a 240V Level 2 charger at home for quicker top-offs. On the road, public stations—including fast chargers—make long-distance travel more convenient. Many Jeep and Chrysler models include apps or incentives to help locate charging stations nearby.
Maintenance is also simpler. Since EVs and plug-in hybrids have fewer moving parts, you can skip oil changes, spark plug replacements, and many common repairs. Our service center is equipped for both gas and electric care.
As for range, most new EVs offer over 200 miles per charge—more than enough for daily needs. According to the 2022 National Household Travel Survey, over 73% of U.S. passenger trips are 10 miles or less, and over 98% are under 75 miles.* That means today’s EVs are more than capable of keeping up with everyday driving, errands, and commutes.
FAQs
Q: Where can I charge my plug-in hybrid or EV?
A: You can charge at home using a Level 1 or Level 2 outlet. For faster charging or travel days, you’ll find thousands of public charging stations across Michigan, many of which are visible right in your vehicle’s navigation system.
Q: What’s the difference between a plug-in hybrid and a full EV?
A: A plug-in hybrid, like the Wrangler 4xe, combines a gas engine and electric motor, giving you the option to drive on electric-only power or switch to gas for longer drives. A full EV, like the Ram 1500 REV, is powered entirely by electricity and offers zero tailpipe emissions.
Q: Can I take an electric vehicle through a car wash?
A: Yes! CDJR electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids are designed to handle automatic and manual car washes just like gas-powered vehicles. The battery and electrical systems are fully sealed and tested for water resistance, so regular washing won’t cause damage. Just be sure to follow your owner’s manual for any model-specific care tips.
