Land Rover Hybrid Electric Range

Introducing the Land Rover Hybrid Electric range

Land Rover are recognised for creating some of the world's most capable and luxurious SUVs. With a focus on delivering innovative technologies to help drive down emissions and improve fuel economy, the brand has developed various plug-in hybrid electric vehicles as well as mild hybrid electric vehicles.

Uncompromised capability, low emissions, exceptional fuel economy, enhanced refinement and comfort; Land Rover's range of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles are appealing options for the environmentally conscious drivers and are perfect for urban driving thanks to their pure electric driving mode.

Read on to find out the difference between their PHEV and MHEV models as well as the opportunity to explore Land Rover's plug-in hybrid range.

What are the different types of hybrid and electric vehicles?

Mild hybrid systems assist the ICE and improve fuel economy by harvesting and storing energy that is normally lost when braking.

HEVs combine an ICE with an electric motor and battery pack that is charged through regenerative braking to offer all-electric driving for short distances.

A PHEV uses a similar setup to a HEV, but has a much larger battery pack to offer a more substantial all-electric range. You will need to plug in to fully recharge.

BEVs only use an electric motor and battery pack for power, producing zero tailpipe emissions and impressive all-electric ranges. There is no combustion engine, so you will need to plug in to recharge.

Land Rover mild hybrid electric vehicle (MHEV)

The new Range Rover Evoque was the first Land Rover to receive their latest MHEV system, that harvests and stores energy normally lost during deceleration and intelligently redeploys it to maximise efficiency.

Ultimately MHEVs reduce fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions. Incorporated within the mild hybrid technology, an enhanced Stop/Start system enables the engine to shutdown while the vehicle decelerates. Unlike with plug-in hybrid (PHEV) vehicles, MHEV's do not require plug-in charging.

The Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Range Rover Velar, Defender, Discovery and Discovery Sport also have the option for the latest 48V MHEV system.

White Range Rover Sport Plug-In Hybrid Charging

There is a plug-in electric hybrid option for the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Range Rover Velar, Range Rover Evoque, Discovery Sport and Defender. Sometimes called PHEVs, these models can perform most short commutes in full electric vehicle (EV) mode.

Being Land Rover's most efficient vehicles yet, you may think their performance is less superior to a traditionally powered SUV. However, you would be wrong. The Range Rover Sport plug-in electric hybrid can race from 0 to 60mph in an impressive 5.9 seconds, whilst the Range Rover Velar plug-in electric hybrid's remarkable time of 5.1 seconds is a time that is competitive with sports cars. Capability and performance haven't been compromised in all these vehicles, whilst are still fully capable of tackling off-roading, wading. rock crawl and snow.

Depending on your local power supply, the vehicles can be fully charged in around seven and a half hours using a home charging cable. Some of the models can even be charged from 0 to 80 percent in as little as 30 minutes using a 32kW DC public charge station. Charge times do, however, vary by vehicle.
