Range Rover Electric: Range and charging time
As per the brand, the massive battery pack powers two electric motors producing up to 551hp and 850Nm (both combined output figures). The manufacturer claims a 0-100kph sprint time of 4.5 seconds. With a 350kW DC fast charger, the battery can be charged from 10‑80 percent in just 22 minutes, while a 10-minute top-up can add 220km of range.
Range Rover Electric: Exterior highlights
When it comes to the exterior, JLR has kept the Range Rover Electric closely aligned with its ICE counterpart rather than making major design changes. The EV is distinguished mainly by elements such as its aero-optimised front grille and wheel design. In fact, there is no 'Electric' lettering anywhere on the body to distinguish it from the ICE version.
The Range Rover Electric looks so similar to the existing ICE model that Range Rover's global production manager Rachel Hogg said, "We haven't needed to camouflage any of our prototypes."
