ELECTRIC CHARGING EXPLAINED

THE PERFECT WAY TO CHARGE
We recommend that most of your charging is done from the comfort of your home as it’s usually the cheapest and most convenient way to charge – as easy as plugging in your phone. The fastest way to charge at home is with a professionally installed home charger.
Before you purchase your vehicle, our preferred home charging providers will help you check the suitability of your property. Installation can depend on factors including the age of your property, availability of private off-street parking and an appropriate power supply.
YOUR FOUR SIMPLE STEPS TO INSTALLATION
1. CHOOSE YOUR PROVIDER
To start your wall box installation process, your local Range Rover Retailer will help you choose a home charging partner.
2. COMPLETE YOUR SUITABILITY SURVEY
A quick survey with your charging provider will determine your home’s suitability for a wall box. General requirements include off-street parking and an appropriate power supply.
3. ARRANGE YOUR INSTALLATION DATE
Agree an installation date with your chosen provider that is before the delivery date of your vehicle. If you qualify for a government grant to help with the cost, your provider will claim this on your behalf.
4. GET SET TO START CHARGING
Once your installation date comes around, your provider will fit your wall box and talk you through the basics of charging.
TETHERED VS. UNTETHERED WALL BOXES
Many providers offer a choice of tethered and untethered wall boxes.
For convenience, tethered wall boxes include a fixed cable that connects the unit to your vehicle. For more flexibility, untethered wall boxes use the charging cable stored in your vehicle.
OFF-PEAK ELECTRICITY TARIFFS
Not only does plugging in overnight keep your charging routine simple, it also means you could benefit from lower EV tariffs and a renewable energy promise from several providers.
Specific charging times can be set via your Range Rover InControl smartphone app.2
OUR RECOMMENDED OFF-PEAK ELECTRICITY TARIFF
Switching your energy tariff may save you up to two thirds off your electricity bill. We recommend multiple award-winning1 Octopus Energy, meaning you may be able to charge your electric or electric hybrid vehicle for less using their off-peak renewable electricity tariffs.2

CHARGING AWAY FROM HOME
TOP UP AT YOUR NEXT STOP
As the charging infrastructure continues to grow, there are now more places than ever to conveniently charge away from home.
Find, charge, and pay away from home with an extensive network of charging stations, and access to the Tesla Supercharger network.1
The majority of destination charging points around towns and cities require the use of your own charging cable. This is included with your electric or electric hybrid vehicle as standard. And just like at home, it can be used in all weather.
FIND CHARGERS USING YOUR IN‑VEHICLE NAVIGATION
With your Range Rover vehicle's navigation system you’ll always be able to find charging stations along your journey.

HOW DO I CHARGE AWAY FROM HOME?
To connect to a charging point, your vehicle uses a Combined Charging System (CCS). This is compatible with slower AC charging speeds, and on selected models, rapid DC charging speeds. Some other vehicle manufacturers use different systems for charging such as CHAdeMO. These are incompatible with Range Rover electric vehicles.
Slower AC charging points are in places such as retail parks, gyms and parking lots. Rapid DC charging points are typically located on highways and main roads.
AC CHARGING
Most public AC charging points require you to use your own cable, so all our electric and electric hybrid vehicles come with an AC charging cable as standard3. This is the same cable you would use for your home charger.
RAPID DC CHARGING
On selected models, the lower half of your vehicle’s CCS inlet features two pins that combine with three of the pins above to provide rapid DC charging (up to 50 kW) typically on highways and main roads. The two lower pins can be accessed by removing the lower socket cover.
HOW DO I PAY FOR CHARGING?
TAP IT OR APP IT
Although some charge points are free to use, the majority are accessible via convenient pay-as-you-go methods, including mobile apps, membership accounts, or a contactless bank card. The cost of charging will typically be a combination of a connection fee, charging time (cost per hour) and/or the amount of energy used (cost per kWh).
We recommend familiarizing yourself with more than one provider to ensure the best coverage and payment methods at your destination – especially when visiting another country.
LAND ROVER CHARGING
Forget about multiple accounts and apps. Land Rover Charging5, powered by Plugsurfing, is your key to our growing network of over 800,000 charging points across the UK and Europe. Contact your local retailer to collect a charging key.

TRACK YOUR CHARGING PROGRESS JUST ABOUT ANYWHERE
MONITOR AND CONTROL FROM YOUR PHONE
Once you’ve simply plugged in and walked away, your Land Rover’s InControl App1, 2 sends your charging status to your mobile. So wherever you are, you can plan your time productively and be ready to get back out there without missing a beat.
At home, your app’s timed charging feature can even be used to schedule charging during the daily window of off-peak electricity and lower EV tariffs offered by many home energy providers.
ELECTRIC HYBRID CHARGING TIMES
Our figures for rapid DC charging points – typically found at highway service stations and main roads – are quoted up to 80 percent. This is because the charging speed slows down significantly above 80 percent to protect the battery and optimize its life.
| Vehicle | AC home and public charging (7 kW) 0 – 100 % | Rapid DC charging 0 - 80 % | DC Charging (peak) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Range Rover Electric Hybrid | From 5 hours3 | Under 1 hour3 | 43 kW |
| Range Rover Sport Electric Hybrid | From 5 hours3 | Under 1 hour3 | 43 kW |
DOMESTIC SOCKETS PROVIDE ADDED REASSURANCE
If you’re away for longer periods and no home charger is available, your standard domestic plug socket used for household electrical items will also charge your vehicle. An hour of charging allows for up to 9 km of range.
For charging your vehicle using a domestic socket, an optional Mode 2 cable is available to purchase separately1.
