CHARGING A PLUG-IN HYBRID (PHEV)

THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME

With a Land Rover plug-in hybrid (PHEV), most of your charging is done from the comfort of home.

It’s usually the cheapest, most convenient way to charge – as easy as plugging in your phone – and you’ll never need to visit the fuel pumps for local trips around town.

SPEED THINGS UP WITH A HOME CHARGER

The fastest way to charge your PHEV at home is with a professionally installed home charger. The government’s Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme can help support the cost of your installation.

SAFE TO CHARGE, WHATEVER THE WEATHER

Our recommended home chargers 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’s cheaper 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 your PHEV 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. And if you’re spending a few hours in the office, workplace charging can have you fully charged by lunchtime.

The majority of destination charging points around towns and cities require the use of your own charging cable. This is included with your Land Rover PHEV as standard. And just like at home, it can be used in all weathers.

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 substantially cheaper EV tariffs offered by many home energy providers.

CHARGING TIMES FOR PHEV

Our figures for rapid DC charging points – typically found at motorway service stations and main roads – are quoted up to 80%. This is because the charging speed slows down significantly above 80% 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%
New Range Rover PHEV	EV range up to 121km (75 miles)^{‡ ††}	From 5 hours²	From 60 minutes²
New Range Rover Sport PHEV	EV range up to 115 km (71 miles)^{‡ ††}	From 5 hours²	From 40 minutes²
Range Rover Velar PHEV	EV range up to 61 km (38 miles)^{‡ ††}	From 2 hours 16 minutes²	From 30 minutes²
Range Rover Evoque PHEV	EV range up to 62 km (39 miles)^{‡ ††}	From 2 hours 12 minutes²	From 30 minutes²
Discovery Sport PHEV	EV range up to 60 km (37 miles)^{‡ ††}	From 2 hours 12 minutes²	From 30 minutes²
Defender PHEV	EV range up to 43 km (27 miles)^{‡ ††}	From 2 hours 30 minutes²	From 30 minutes²

DOMESTIC 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 at a much slower rate – typically 0-100% from seven hours.

For charging your vehicle using a domestic socket, an optional Mode 2 cable is available to purchase separately.
