Range Rover Electric specs unveiled

Jaguar Land Rover has moved the Range Rover Electric from teaser to full spec sheet, publishing the first hard numbers for the brand’s battery-electric flagship on September 2. The company said the SUV uses a 118.5 kWh usable battery, an 800-volt electrical architecture and dual 260 kW motors producing up to 550 PS and 850 Nm. JLR said the vehicle is rated for up to 372 miles of WLTP range and can charge from 10% to 80% in 22 minutes on DC fast charging. The launch matters because this is the first full-electric Range Rover, not a lower-volume side project or a compliance variant. JLR said the SUV will be built alongside mild-hybrid, plug-in hybrid and internal-combustion Range Rover models at Solihull in the UK, using the company’s flexible MLA platform strategy. The company also said it has filed 300 patent applications tied to the vehicle, including its ThermAssist heat-management system and in-house battery and motor design work. (jlr.com) ### So what are the core numbers buyers will actually care about? The battery is the anchor spec. JLR said the pack has 118.5 kWh of usable capacity, while EV Database lists 125.0 kWh nominal capacity and 118.5 kWh usable capacity for the launch LWB EV550 version. Power is quoted at 405 kW, or 543 hp, with all-wheel drive and a 0-62 mph time of 4.7 seconds on EV Database. Range is the other headline. (jlr.com) JLR’s official figure is up to 372 miles on the WLTP cycle, while EV Database estimates 285 miles of real-world range for the long-wheelbase model, with conditions ranging from roughly 205 miles in cold-weather highway use to 410 miles in mild-weather city driving. Those are different test frameworks, but together they show where the official claim and likely real-use outcomes sit. ### How fast does it charge, and what does 800 volts change? JLR said the Range Rover Electric supports DC charging from 10% to 80% in 22 minutes and can add 137 miles, or 220 km, in 10 minutes under WLTP conditions. The company said the SUV uses split-charging on an 800-volt system, a setup aimed at cutting charging times in a segment where buyers expect long-distance usability as much as luxury. (jlr.com) EV Database lists maximum DC charging at 350 kW, with average 10-80% charging power of 230 kW and 22 kW AC charging capability. That points to charging hardware in line with other top-end electric SUVs, even before JLR publishes market-specific charging curves and equipment details. ### Is this still supposed to be a real Range Rover off-road? JLR put unusual emphasis on capability in the spec release. (jlr.com) The company said the electric model can wade through up to 900 mm of water and that its traction-management system responds in 50 milliseconds, which JLR said is 100 times faster than a combustion-engine equivalent. It also said single-pedal driving allows the SUV to climb slopes up to 45 degrees. (ev-database.org) The company paired those claims with familiar Range Rover hardware language: twin-chamber air suspension, a lower center of gravity from the battery pack, and a design that changes only where needed for aerodynamics, including the grille, wheels and underbody. That is consistent with the public Range Rover Electric page, which continues to market the model as a near-silent electric SUV rather than a separate sub-brand. (jlr.com) ### What still has not been published? Pricing remains the biggest missing piece. JLR’s September 2 release did not include U.S. pricing, and the public Range Rover Electric page still routes buyers to a waiting list rather than a full configurator in some markets. EV Database lists early European prices for the LWB EV550 at £215,670 in the UK, €283,357 in the Netherlands and €282,000 in Germany, but those are market-specific listings rather than a JLR global pricing announcement. (jlr.com) Deliveries are the next milestone. JLR said the Range Rover Electric is now available with electric propulsion and has opened the model for market rollout, while retail and order-page updates are expected to fill in trim, option and regional pricing details as Europe and North America deliveries begin later in 2026.
