ELECTRIC DRIVING RANGE
THE CONFIDENCE TO GO ANYWHERE
Wherever the journey leads, life with electric power is boundless.
ELECTRIC EXCELS AROUND TOWN
With an electric range of up to 122km†, Range Rover electric hybrid, for example, can cover most of your shorter daily journeys from a single charge and with zero tailpipe emissions. As electricity is typically cheaper per kilometre, it could also save you money along the way.
HOW CAN I MAXIMISE MY EV RANGE?
EV range is typically affected by real-world driving conditions. With access to home charging, range should rarely be an issue for local journeys, but there are still some simple ways you can maximise your EV range every day.
PRECONDITIONING
Preconditioning allows you to heat or cool your cabin and battery while your Land Rover is plugged in. This uses energy from the mains and preserves the energy in the battery to maximise driving range.
DRIVING SPEED
Travelling at a steady pace – rather than frequent, heavy acceleration and hard braking – will help preserve your electric range.
ECO MODE
Eco Mode is a simple way to optimise your range during your journey. It adjusts some of the settings including cabin temperature and air recirculation to save energy and maximise range.
BRAKE REGENERATION
Once you lift your foot off the accelerator, an intelligent regenerative braking system comfortably slows the vehicle down while converting the power generated to optimise the battery’s range. Applying the brake increases the amount of power harvested.
DESIGNED TO LAST
Just like the rest of your Range Rover, the powerful Lithium-ion battery inside your vehicle is designed to inspire total driving confidence, year after year and in all conditions.
HOW DOES A BATTERY WORK?
The battery in your electric vehicle consists of several individual Lithium-ion modules working together inside a single rechargeable pack.
Pressing your Range Rover’s accelerator delivers power from the battery to the electric motor driving the wheels. This gradually consumes the amount of electricity stored, until it’s time to plug in and recharge again.
HOW LONG DOES A BATTERY LAST?
Batteries are designed to last even longer than the extensive life of your vehicle. Unlike the much smaller version of a Lithium-ion battery found inside your laptop or mobile phone, a Range Rover battery uses specific technologies and techniques to optimise its performance for many years and many thousands of kilometres.
This includes sophisticated liquid-cooling systems and a smart buffer that helps to protect the battery from the wearing effects of constant charging.
DRIVING ELECTRIC
†Fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and EV Range figures are determined by testing under standardised laboratory conditions and to comply with ADR 81/02 and ADR 79/04. These figures should only be used for the purpose of comparison amongst vehicles. Actual figures will generally differ under real world driving conditions and will vary depending on factors such as (but not limited to) driving style, vehicle’s equipment and road, traffic, and weather condition.
†The figures provided are NEDC calculated from official manufacturer’s tests. Figures may vary according to environment and driving style. For comparison purposes only. Real world figures may differ.
Charging times vary dependent on many factors, including but not limited to the age, condition, temperature and existing charge of the battery; facility used and duration of charge.
