PUBLIC EV CHARGING
TOP UP WHILE YOU’RE PARKED UP
Beyond the ultimate convenience and cost savings of home charging, a timely top-up at your destination can be a great way to extend the electric range of your Land Rover plug-in electric hybrid (PHEV) throughout the day.
This will also help to reduce your fuel costs and your environmental footprint thanks to zero tailpipe emissions when driving in full Electric Vehicle (EV) mode.
WHERE CAN I CHARGE AWAY FROM HOME?
With a rapidly-growing network of charging points across the UK – including retail parks, gyms, car parks and even your workplace – there are more places than ever to charge up while you’re parked up.
And finding them all couldn’t be simpler.
IN-CAR NAVIGATION
Your Land Rover’s navigation system1 creates door-to-door route planning while highlighting charging points and monitoring live traffic and along the way.
HOW DO I CHARGE AWAY FROM HOME?
To connect to a charging point, your vehicle uses a Combined Charging System (CCS). This is compatible with slower AC charging speeds, and on selected models, rapid DC charging speeds. Some other car manufacturers use different systems for charging such as CHAdeMO. These are less-widely used across the charging network and are incompatible with Land Rover electric vehicles.
Slower AC charging points are in places such as retail parks, gyms and car parks. Rapid DC charging points are typically located on motorways and main roads.
AC CHARGING
Most public AC charging points require you to use your own cable, so all our electric and plug-in electric hybrid (PHEV) vehicles come with an AC charging cable as standard2. This is the same cable you would use for your home charger.
RAPID DC CHARGING
The fastest way to charge away from home. Rapid DC charging points have their own cables attached, so there is no need to use your vehicle’s own charging cable.
HOW DO I PAY FOR CHARGING?
TAP IT OR APP IT
Although some charge points are free to use, the majority are accessible via convenient pay-as-you-go methods, including mobile apps, membership accounts, or a contactless bank card. The cost of charging will typically be a combination of a connection fee, charging time (pence per hour) and/or the amount of energy used (pence per kWh).
We recommend familiarising yourself with more than one provider to ensure the best coverage and payment methods at your destination – especially when visiting another country.
