LAND ROVER PHEV RESEARCH

We’re ready to add to the legendary capabilities of Range Rover by implementing the technology of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV). Our lineup of PHEVs looks to bring a new level of performance into the fold while not compromising the original vision of these vehicles which encompasses vehicles that are always ready to go off the beaten path. You can choose to get into the Range Rover PHEV which combines all the characteristics of a classic Range Rover with an electric twist or go for the Range Rover Sport PHEV which takes performance and efficiencies to new heights.

This page is dedicated to helping you learn more about the Range Rover Plug-in Hybrid SUVs. You’ll learn more about the entire Range Rover PHEV lineup and their distinguishing factors, how to maintain and service your vehicle, how and where to charge your vehicle, you’ll learn about the battery and warranty, and just how much you can qualify for on federal tax credit by simply switching to driving a plug-in hybrid Range Rover.

Our team at Land Rover Naperville can answer any questions that you have about the lineup and help you determine what model best fits your needs and lifestyle. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call 630-413-0693 or simply contact us and a member of our Patrick Direct Sales Team will reach out to you.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A HYBRID AND A PLUG-IN HYBRID (PHEV)?

HYBRID

• A vehicle is a hybrid if it’s 100% gasoline-fueled but doesn’t rely solely on its gasoline engine for propulsion (defined as the action of driving or pushing forward). Hybrids have electric motors that sometimes power the car in order to delay the gasoline engine and save fuel. At times, both systems work together for added power. Electric motors function as generators when you press the brake.

• Hybrids get energy at the same time from a gasoline engine and an electric motor. The engine and motor work together to power the car. The engine also uses gasoline to help recharge the battery which powers the electric motor.

• Hybrids use gasoline engines to keep batteries charged as you drive. There is no need to plug them in.

PLUG-IN HYBRID (PHEV)

• PHEVs use a gasoline engine and an electric motor but in different ways. A plug-in hybrid primarily uses its electric motor, which is powered by a battery. A plug-in hybrid won’t use gas until the battery runs out of power. A plug-in hybrid uses its engine as a backup plan.

• PHEVs can be plugged into a 120-volt household outlet or a 240-volt charging unit (or wall charger). A plug-in hybrid can be driven on pure electric power without burning any fuel.

• A PHEV has a much larger battery and a means to recharge it using an external power source. A PHEV acts like an electric vehicle with the gasoline engine not being used when its battery has to charge. The engine comes on when the battery runs down which allows the vehicle to continue as a regular gasoline hybrid. It also uses regenerative braking to save fuel.

CHARGING YOUR RANGE ROVER: HOW AND WHERE?

The Range Rover PHEVs can fully charge from either a domestic socket or an IEC connector. It’s ideally suited to charge overnight, fully charging in as little as 14 hours, enabling emissions-free commuting for 19 miles. Installing and using a wall box can reduce charging times to as little as 2.75 hours.

For ultimate convenience and efficiency, charge your vehicle quickly in between drives using a wall-mounted Level 2, 240-volt home EV charge. With charging speeds up to nine times faster than a standard outlet, the ChargePoint Home Flex wall box also offers handy features, including reminders and scheduled charging. Please note the speed of charging is primarily determined by the source of the power supply and is ultimately limited by the maximum capability of the vehicle’s onboard charger.

MAINTENANCE/SERVICE OF YOUR PLUG-IN HYBRID RANGE ROVER

Every vehicle protected by prepaid maintenance receives the care it deserves. Each is serviced by factory-trained Land Rover technicians using genuine parts and Castrol Synthetic Oil to keep your vehicle performing at its peak. With nationwide servicing available at participating retailers, regularly scheduled maintenance is not only convenient, but it potentially increases the residual value of your vehicle. It can save you money too – up to 25% versus the cost of paying for each service as it is needed. These pre-paid maintenance plans can be purchased prior to the first service interval or financed with the cost of your vehicle at the time of purchase.

WARNING: Do not do any repairs on the vehicle yourself. Electrical cables and/or components that have come loose may only be corrected by an authorized workshop. Schedule service today!
