ELECTRIC AND ELECTRIC HYBRID CHARGING
THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME
We recommend that most of your charging is done from the comfort of home as it’s usually the cheapest and most convenient way to charge – as easy as plugging in your phone.
SPEED THINGS UP WITH A HOME CHARGER
The fastest way to charge at home is with a professionally installed home charger. Your local Retailer can help you find recommended home charger providers in your area.
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 can be more cost efficient 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 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.
The majority of destination charging points around towns and cities require the use of your own charging cable. This is included with your electric or electric hybrid vehicle as standard3. And just like at home, it can be used in all weather.
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 lower EV tariffs offered by many home energy providers.
CHARGING TIMES
Our figures for rapid DC charging points – typically found at motorway service stations and main roads – are quoted up to 80 percent. This is because the charging speed slows down significantly above 80 percent to protect the battery and optimise its life.

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. An hour of charging allows for up to 9km (6 miles) of range.
For charging your vehicle using a domestic socket, an optional Mode 2 cable is available to purchase separately3.
