Land Rover's electric lineup is still mostly concept and future models, with the Range Rover Electric arriving in 2025

Land Rover has committed to electrification but is moving slower than most luxury automakers. As of now, the only fully electric Land Rover you can order is the Range Rover Electric, expected to arrive in 2025 model year. Before that, Land Rover offers plug-in hybrid versions of the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport, which combine a gas engine with an electric motor and rechargeable battery. These plug-in hybrids (called PHEV) are available now, while the fully electric models remain years away.

If you are shopping for an electric Land Rover today, your realistic choice is a plug-in hybrid. If you want a fully battery-powered Land Rover, you will be waiting until 2025 at the earliest, and even then the Range Rover Electric will be the only option for several more years. The company has announced plans for an all-electric Range Rover Sport and other models, but no confirmed arrival dates.

Key Takeaways

  • The Range Rover Electric is scheduled for 2025 and will be Land Rover's first fully battery-powered model, with an estimated range around 300 miles depending on final specifications.
  • Plug-in hybrid Range Rovers and Range Rover Sports are available now and can run on electric power alone for 30 to 50 miles before the gas engine starts.
  • Plug-in hybrids cost less upfront than the coming electric models but require regular charging and still produce emissions when the gas engine runs.
  • Land Rover has not yet confirmed pricing, battery size, or final range figures for the Range Rover Electric, so early estimates may shift before launch.
  • Charging infrastructure and home charging setup costs are the same whether you choose a plug-in hybrid or a fully electric model.

Plug-in hybrid Range Rovers available right now

If you want a Land Rover with electric capability today, the Range Rover P400e and Range Rover Sport P440e are your options. Both are plug-in hybrids, meaning they have a rechargeable battery and an electric motor paired with a gas V6 engine. You plug them in at home or at a public charger, and they can drive on electric power alone for roughly 30 to 50 miles depending on driving conditions and which model you choose. Once the battery depletes, the gas engine takes over automatically.

The advantage of a plug-in hybrid is lower upfront cost compared to a fully electric vehicle and no range anxiety on long trips—the gas engine is always there. The trade-off is that you still produce emissions when the gas engine runs, and you must remember to charge regularly to get the electric-only driving benefit. If you do not charge frequently, a plug-in hybrid behaves like a regular gas SUV but with worse fuel economy due to the added weight of the battery and electric motor.

Plug-in hybrids also cost more to maintain than gas-only vehicles because they have two powertrains. Brake fluid, transmission fluid, and other fluids need monitoring on both systems. Battery degradation over time is also a consideration, though most manufacturers warranty the battery for eight years or 100,000 miles.

What to expect from the Range Rover Electric in 2025

Land Rover has announced the Range Rover Electric will arrive in 2025, but the company has released few hard specifications. Based on the platform it will use and statements from Land Rover executives, the electric Range Rover is expected to have a range around 300 miles on a full charge, though this figure is not yet official. The vehicle will use a large battery pack, likely in the 100+ kilowatt-hour range, to achieve that distance while powering a heavy luxury SUV.

Pricing has not been confirmed, but expect the Range Rover Electric to cost significantly more than the current plug-in hybrid models—likely starting in the $100,000+ range based on Land Rover's positioning and the cost of large battery packs. The fully electric model will eliminate the gas engine entirely, meaning no tailpipe emissions and lower operating costs once purchased, since electricity is cheaper than gasoline and electric motors require less maintenance than combustion engines.

Land Rover has also hinted at an all-electric Range Rover Sport and other electric models in its lineup, but these have no confirmed launch dates. The company is prioritizing the flagship Range Rover Electric first, with other models likely arriving in the late 2020s.

Charging at home versus public networks

Whether you choose a plug-in hybrid now or wait for the fully electric Range Rover, charging infrastructure is a major practical consideration. Home charging is the most convenient option: you install a Level 2 charger (240-volt) in your garage or driveway, which costs between $500 and $2,500 installed depending on your electrical setup. A Level 2 charger will fully recharge a plug-in hybrid battery overnight and can charge an electric Range Rover from empty to full in 8 to 12 hours.

If you do not have a garage or driveway, or if you take long trips, you will rely on public charging networks. Networks like Tesla Supercharger, Electrify America, EVgo, and ChargePoint operate across the country, though availability varies by region. Superchargers can add 200+ miles of range in 20 to 30 minutes, but they are more expensive per kilowatt-hour than home charging. For a plug-in hybrid, public charging is optional since the gas engine provides backup; for a fully electric vehicle, it becomes essential for road trips.

Plug-in hybrid versus waiting for the fully electric model

The decision between buying a plug-in hybrid Range Rover now and waiting for the electric version depends on your timeline and driving patterns. If you drive mostly short distances—under 50 miles per day—a plug-in hybrid can cover your commute on electric power alone if you charge nightly, and the gas engine handles longer trips without range anxiety. You can buy one today and start driving when ready.

If you drive longer distances regularly or want zero-emission driving, waiting for the Range Rover Electric makes sense—but you will wait until 2025 at minimum, and early production models may have limited availability. The fully electric model will have lower operating costs and simpler maintenance, but it will cost more upfront and requires reliable access to charging infrastructure.

A middle ground is buying a used or discounted plug-in hybrid now and selling it in a few years when the electric model launches. This lets you experience Land Rover's electric technology without committing long-term to either powertrain, though depreciation and transaction costs will eat into savings.

Real-world costs: plug-in hybrid versus electric

A new Range Rover P400e plug-in hybrid starts around $110,000 to $120,000 depending on options and your location. Electricity costs roughly $0.04 to $0.06 per mile for the electric portion of driving, while gasoline costs $0.10 to $0.15 per mile depending on fuel prices and the vehicle's efficiency. If you charge daily and drive under 50 miles per day, your fuel cost drops significantly. If you rarely charge, you pay gas prices for a heavier, less efficient vehicle.

The Range Rover Electric will likely start above $100,000, possibly $120,000 or higher, but operating costs will be lower since you eliminate gas entirely. Electricity for a full charge on a 300-mile range vehicle will cost roughly $15 to $20 at home, or $25 to $35 at a public fast charger. Over 100,000 miles, the fuel cost difference between a plug-in hybrid (if rarely charged) and a fully electric vehicle can exceed $10,000.

Insurance costs are similar between plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles, though some insurers offer small discounts for electric cars. Maintenance costs favor the electric model: no oil changes, spark plugs, or transmission fluid, and regenerative braking means brake pads last longer. A plug-in hybrid requires maintenance on both the gas and electric systems, increasing costs compared to either a gas-only or fully electric vehicle.

Tax credits and incentives for electric Land Rovers

The federal tax credit for electric vehicles is $7,500, but it applies only to vehicles assembled in North America and priced below certain thresholds. The Range Rover Electric, when it arrives, will likely exceed the price cap ($55,000 for SUVs), which means it may not may have access to for the full credit or any credit at all. Plug-in hybrids are not may be able to access for the federal tax credit as of 2024, though this could change.

Some states offer additional incentives for electric vehicles, ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 depending on the state and the vehicle's price. California, New York, and Colorado have the most generous programs, but may be able to access varies. Check your state's energy office or the fueleconomy.gov website for current incentives in your area. Incentives change frequently and are often subject to income limits or vehicle price caps, so confirm details before making a purchase decision.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I tow with an electric Range Rover?

Land Rover has not released towing specifications for the Range Rover Electric, but the current plug-in hybrid models can tow up to 7,700 pounds. Towing significantly reduces electric range because it increases weight and aerodynamic drag. Expect the electric Range Rover to have similar towing capacity, but with reduced range when towing—possibly 30 to 50 percent less than the EPA estimate.

How long does it take to charge a plug-in hybrid Range Rover at home?

A Level 2 home charger (240-volt) takes 6 to 8 hours to fully charge a Range Rover P400e battery from empty. A standard 120-volt outlet takes 20+ hours. Most owners charge overnight, so the time is not a practical concern for daily use. For the coming Range Rover Electric with a larger battery, expect 10 to 14 hours on Level 2.

What is the real-world range of a plug-in hybrid Range Rover?

Land Rover rates the P400e at 31 miles of electric-only range, though real-world results vary from 25 to 40 miles depending on driving style, terrain, and temperature. Cold weather reduces range by 20 to 30 percent. Once the battery depletes, the gas engine starts and you get normal SUV fuel economy, roughly 20 to 24 miles per gallon combined.

Will the Range Rover Electric be available in all states?

Electric vehicles are sold nationwide, but some states have stricter emissions standards that affect vehicle availability. California, Massachusetts, and a few others sometimes see new models arrive first. Land Rover has not announced regional restrictions for the Range Rover Electric, so it should be available across the U.S., though dealer availability may vary by region.

Can I charge a Land Rover at a Tesla Supercharger?

Tesla Superchargers use the NACS connector, which is becoming the standard for new electric vehicles. Land Rover has not confirmed whether the Range Rover Electric will use NACS or the older CCS standard. If it uses CCS, you can charge at Electrify America, EVgo, and ChargePoint networks but not Tesla Superchargers. Check with Land Rover closer to launch for final connector details.
