ELECTRIC AND ELECTRIC HYBRID (PHEV) CHARGING
THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME
We recommend that most of your charging is done from the comfort of home as it’s usually the cheapest and most convenient way to charge – as easy as plugging in your phone.
SPEED THINGS UP WITH A HOME CHARGER
The fastest way to charge at home is with a professionally installed home charger. Your local Retailer can help you find recommended home charger providers in your area.
SAFE TO CHARGE, WHATEVER THE WEATHER
Our recommended home chargers are approved by the government’s Office for Low Emission Vehicles and are safe to use in all weathers. Come rain or shine, you’ll always be ready to go electric.
HOME CHARGING CAN SAVE YOU MONEY
Plugging in is not only incredibly convenient, it can be more cost efficient than running a petrol or diesel car every day. You will also typically save more money charging at home than charging away from home. Using an off-peak electricity tariff can reduce your costs further still.

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 away from home.
Charging points at many public car parks, shopping centres and motorway services make it easy to top up while you’re parked up.
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 standard3. And just like at home, it can be used in all weather.
SAVE UP TO £14,000 ON WORKPLACE CHARGING
The government’s Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS) reduces the purchase and installation cost of a new workplace charging point by up to 75% (capped at £350* per point). A business can claim a maximum of 40 sockets.
TRACK YOUR CHARGING PROGRESS ANYWHERE
MONITOR AND CONTROL 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.
At home, your app’s timed charging feature can even be used to lock into the daily window of off-peak electricity and lower EV tariffs offered by many home energy providers.
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 | Maximum electric range | AC home and public charging (7kW) 0 – 100% | Rapid DC charging (50kW) 0 – 80% |
|---|---|---|---|
| Range Rover Electric Hybrid | Up to 73.3 miles‡ †† | From 5 hours2 | Less than 60 minutes2 |
| Range Rover Sport Electric Hybrid | Up to 74.6 miles†† | From 5 hours3 | Less than 60 minutes2 |
| Range Rover Velar Electric Hybrid | Up to 39.1 milesࠠ | From 2 hours 30 minutes2 | From 30 minutes2 |
| Range Rover Evoque Electric Hybrid | Up to 38.5 miles†† | From 2 hours 12 minutes3 | From 30 minutes3** |
| Discovery Sport Electric Hybrid | Up to 37 milesࠠ | From 2 hours 12 minutes2 | From 30 minutes2 |
| Defender Electric Hybrid | Up to 30.4 milesࠠ | From 2 hours 30 minutes2 | From 30 minutes2 |
THREE-PIN 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. An hour of charging allows for up to 6 miles (9 km) of range.
For charging your vehicle using a domestic socket, an optional Mode 2 cable is available to purchase separately3.

‡EV range figures are based upon production vehicle over a standardised route. Range achieved will vary dependent on vehicle and battery condition, actual route and environment and driving style.
††The figures provided are as a result of official manufacturer's tests in accordance with EU legislation with a fully charged battery . For comparison purposes only. Real world figures may differ. CO2, fuel economy, energy consumption and range figures may vary according to factors such as driving styles, environmental conditions, load, wheel fitment, accessories fitted, actual route and battery condition. Range figures are based upon production vehicle over a standardised route.

1The savings have been calculated by providing daily mileage examples. They are calculated using the WLTP eAER EV range of a Range Rover Evoque 1.5P P300e electric hybrid AWD Auto R-dynamic (34 m), its usable battery capacity (12.2 kWh), the average cost of electricity on a standard tariff (19 p/kWh), and the WLTP Combined ICE fuel economy of that vehicle once the battery charge is depleted (31.0 mpg). Compared to the Combined WLTP fuel economy of a RR Evoque 2.0P P200 AWD Auto R-Dynamic S (31.7 mpg) and the average cost per litre of petrol (£1.35) covering the same miles over 1 year. Correct at time of publication.
2Compatible smart phones only. Subject to market availability of third party provider platforms and mobile phone signal.
3Charging times will vary dependent on many factors, including but not limited to: the age, condition, temperature and existing charge of the battery; facility used and duration of charge.
**The max charging rate is 32 kW.
