Range Rover has opened the waiting list for its Range Rover Electric, ahead of formal orders opening to clients. The Range Rover Electric will slot into the model range alongside its mild hybrid (MHEV) and plug-in electric hybrid (PHEV) siblings, offering a breadth of options to meet our clients’ needs.

Range Rover Electric will deliver performance comparable to a flagship Range Rover V8 as well as the all-terrain capability developed in-house by Land Rover experts.

After a year of virtual development spanning front-end robustness, multi-body systems analysis that considers the demand on the chassis, and virtual wading at up to 31 mph, the first physical vehicles have been built. Global on-road testing has started, from Sweden to Dubai, in temperatures ranging from -40 ˚C to +50 ˚C (-40 to 122 Fahrenheit).

The global physical testing program has been adapted for the Range Rover brand’s first fully electric vehicle to ensure robustness of the electric drive system, including its underfloor, battery durability, chassis integrity and vehicle dynamics tests for thermal derating.

New Range Rover Electric will be designed, engineered and built in the United Kingdom, on the flexible Modular Longitudinal Architecture (MLA) in Solihull, alongside existing mild and plug-in hybrid Range Rover vehicles.

For the first time, batteries and EDUs will be built and assembled at JLR’s new Electric Propulsion Manufacturing Center in Wolverhampton, United Kingdom, as the Range Rover brand electrifies ahead of its 2039 net-zero carbon ambition.
