ELECTRIC CHARGING EXPLAINED
AT HOME IS BEST
We recommend that you do most charging from home, as it's usually the cheapest and most convenient option ? as easy as plugging in your smartphone.
EVEN FASTER CHARGING AT HOME
The fastest way to charge your vehicle is with a professionally installed home charger.
CHARGE SAFELY IN ANY WEATHER
Our recommended home charging points are safe to use in any weather. Come rain or shine, your electric vehicle is always ready to go.
SAVE MONEY BY CHARGING AT HOME
EV charging is not only incredibly convenient, but it can also be more cost-effective than using petrol or diesel vehicles on a daily basis. You can also usually save more money if you charge your vehicle at home rather than on the road. Using an off-peak electricity tariff can reduce your costs even further.
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 network1.
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.
TRACK YOUR CHARGING PROGRESS ANYWHERE
MONITOR AND CONTROL FROM YOUR PHONE
Once you’ve simply plugged in and walked away, your Range 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 motorway 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 optimise its life.
| Vehicle | AC home and public charging (7 kW) 0 – 100 % | Rapid DC charging 0 - 80 % | DC Charging (peak) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Range Rover Plug-in Electric Hybrid | From 5 hours3 | Under 1 hour3 | 43 kW |
| Range Rover Sport Plug-in Electric Hybrid | From 5 hours3 | Under 1 hour3 | 43 kW |
| Range Rover Velar Plug-in Electric Hybrid | From 2 hours 30 minutes3 | From 30 minutes3 | 35 kW |
| Range Rover Evoque Plug-in Electric Hybrid | From 2 hours 12 minutes3 | From 30 minutes3 | 32 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.
For charging your vehicle using a domestic socket, an optional Mode 2 cable is available to purchase separately.
