Using @James suggestion to use toLocaleString()

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('.plg-date > .fabrikElement > div').each(function() {
        if($(this).text().length > 0) {
            var date = $(this).text();
            var newdate = new Date(date + " UTC");
            var options = { 
                year: 'numeric', 
                month: 'numeric', 
                day: 'numeric',
                hour: '2-digit',
                minute: '2-digit',
                timeZoneName: 'short'
            }
            $(this).text(newdate.toLocaleString('en-US', options)); 
        }
    })
})
