CHARGING A PLUG-IN ELECTRIC HYBRID (PHEV)
THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME
With a Land Rover electric hybrid, most of your charging is done from the comfort of home.
It’s usually the cheapest, most convenient way to charge – as easy as plugging in your phone – and you'll visit fuel pumps lesser for local trips around town.
SPEED THINGS UP WITH A HOME CHARGER
The fastest way to charge your electric hybrid at home is with a professionally installed home charger. Our recommended home charging partners are on hand with the most comprehensive charging capabilities and minimum installation leadtime.
SAFE TO CHARGE, WHATEVER THE WEATHER
Our recommended home chargers are safe to use in all weathers. Come rain or shine, you’ll always be ready to go electric.
CHARGING AWAY FROM HOME
TOP UP AT YOUR NEXT STOP
As the public charging infrastructure continues to grow, there are now more places than ever to conveniently charge your electric hybrid away from home.
Charging points at many public car parks, shopping centres and highway services make it easy to top up while you’re parked up. And if you’re spending a few hours in the office, workplace charging can have you fully charged by lunchtime.
TRACK YOUR CHARGING PROGRESS ANYWHERE
MONITOR FROM YOUR PHONE
Once you’ve simply plugged in and walked away, your Land Rover’s InControl App1 neatly 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.
CHARGING TIMES FOR ELECTRIC HYBRID
Our figures for rapid DC charging points – typically found at motorway service stations and main roads – are quoted up to 80%. This is because the charging speed slows down significantly above 80% to protect the battery and optimise its life.
| Vehicles | Maximum electric range | AC home and public charging (7 kW) 0 – 100% | Rapid DC charging (50 kW) 0 – 80% |
|---|---|---|---|
| Range Rover PHEV | EV range up to 121 km‡ †† | From 5 hours2 | < 60 minutes2 |
| Land Rover Defender PHEV | EV range up to 51 km†† | From 2 hours 30 minutes2 | From 30 minutes2 |
DOMESTIC SOCKETS PROVIDE ADDED REASSURANCE
If you’re away for longer periods and no home charger is available, your standard three-pin plug socket used for household electrical items will also charge your vehicle at a much slower rate – typically 0-100% from seven hours.
