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 116km††, 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.
WHY IS THE REAL ELECTRIC RANGE OFTEN LESS THAN ADVERTISED?
Advertised figures allow drivers to compare one car to another in the same conditions. To enable this, all manufacturers test to the same NEDC and quote these figures.
Compared to the controlled conditions and temperatures of NEDC, in real-world conditions your range will differ based on factors including speed, outside temperatures and the weight you’re carrying.
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.
OUR BATTERY WARRANTY
For your peace of mind, we guarantee the battery in your electric vehicle for eight years and 160,000km and electric hybrid for six years or 100,000km – whichever comes first. And while it’s under warranty, our EV experts will fix any manufacturing defects free of charge.
In fact, the rare occurrence of a battery issue is generally caused by a single cell. The module containing this cell can easily be replaced to return the pack to its peak performance.
