A) Yes. The safety of the PHEV charging process is fully assured.
A) The electricity grid can easily handle electric vehicle charging, most of which occurs overnight when power usage is low. We, and other car makers, are working with governments and energy providers to ensure supplies are maintained.
A) No, far from it. Electric motors generate instant and full torque from standstill, leading to stunning response and acceleration times. Range Rover PHEV delivers acceleration of 0-100km/h in 6.7 seconds.
A) Yes. All new models comply with the same stringent safety standards as every other vehicle.
The Land Rover P400e is a Plug in Hybrid Electric Vehicle, which means it has a conventional combustion engine and a powerful electric motor which work in parallel. The electric motor is powered by a large capacity high voltage battery which can be charged externally and will be re-charged using regenerative braking during journeys. The large capacity battery enables the vehicle to run as a pure electric vehicle for up to 51km* following a full charge, which will be appropriate for most regular journeys such as commuting and school runs.
*Official EU Test Figures. For comparison purposes only. Real world figures may differ.
No, they don’t deteriorate over time. EV batteries can be charged thousands of times with little deterioration.
BEV and PHEV batteries have a warranty of eight years, which is significantly longer than standard vehicle warranties.
PHEV's offer many of the advantages of Electric vehicles such as refinement, low running costs and zero tailpipe emissions for short regular journeys, whilst offering the flexibility of a conventional combustion engine for longer journeys without the need to re-charge. The combination of the combustion engine and electric motor also means that the vehicle can deliver the power torque and performance more associated with a large capacity conventional engine.
The PHEV offers many of the benefits of an electric vehicle to customers for whom a full electric vehicle would not be an appropriate choice. With electricity supplies increasingly being delivered from renewable sources, electric cars offer environmental benefits over traditional fuel-burning engines too. This is increasingly being recognised by governments around the world with the availability of a wide range of incentives to reduce purchase costs and company car taxation. This, together with the reduced running costs of an electrified vehicle, create a compelling financial case for many people, whilst operating as a conventional combustion-engined vehicle when required.
The greatest benefits of a PHEV will be experienced by owners who can use external charging for a significant proportion of their mileage. Whilst longer journeys can be undertaken without any need for external charging, the fuel consumption of the vehicle on these journeys will be comparable with that of a conventionally-engined vehicle once the initial charge has depleted, although a residual charge is maintained to provide electrical assistance to the combustion engine when full power is required.
The P400e has a driver-selectable EV mode, which will switch the vehicle to full EV operation, however the system will introduce the petrol engine should the driver require more power than is available through the electric motor alone, or if the battery charge drops to an insufficient level to maintain progress EV mode will be available for a range of up to 51km, but will be reduced by heavy usage eg load carrying, towing, high speed or off road usage.
The InControl Remote App is available for EV vehicles with enhanced functionality. The App enables the user to Stop or Start Charging, Manage Departure timers (Timed Climate pre conditioning), Manage Charging Tarrifs and set a Maximum state of charge.
The app will also be able to provide notifications if the charge plug is forcibly removed, Charging has stopped (lack of power). The vehicle can also send a Charging reminder if it is left at a known charge location.
When driving in higher or lower temperatures, operating the cooling or heating systems will use the battery quicker and reduce the vehicle’s electric vehicle (EV) range. Performance driving will also reduce battery charge quicker and therefore the vehicle’s EV range.
When in the default driving mode (Parallel Hybrid) the driver can optimise fuel economy or battery charge by utilising one of two alternative charge management functions:
- SAVE function – manually selected through the touchscreen, SAVE function prevents the battery charge dropping below the level which has been selected. This allows the driver to provision for quiet, zero-emission travel at a later point in the journey. The vehicle will only use the electric motor if the battery has received a charge over and above the saved level through regenerative braking.
- Predictive Energy Optimisation (PEO) function – entering a destination in the vehicle's navigation system will automatically engage the PEO function. By utilising altitude data for the chosen route, PEO intelligently switches between the electric motor and petrol engine to maximise fuel economy throughout the journey.
Found at local shopping centres, hotels, gyms, etc, destination charging is found at places you are visiting for reasons beyond primarily refuelling your vehicle.
Found at service stations and dedicated electric vehicle charging stations, journey charging is located at locations designed to primarily recharge or fuel vehicles and can provide the most charge possible in the shortest of times.
The Land Rover P400e will come with a Home Charging cable as standard which is suitable for charging from a domestic power supply. However for convenience and speed of charge, a wall box is recommended (but not essential) in order to charge an electric vehicle at home. Installation costs vary by market (and electricity supply) but are affordable and continue to fall in price as take up increases.
The wall box may come equipped with a built in charge cable, alternatively a ‘Public Charging Cable is available as an Accessory which can be used with a wall box or at public charging points
A Universal Charging Cable is also available as an Accessory which can be fitted with different adaptors and plug variations to meet global standards. They are supplied with both domestic and industrial socket options, the latter being suitable for faster charging as it can accommodate up to 7kW.

Jaguar Land Rover EV vehicles come equipped as standard with a Charge cable that can be plugged directly into your domestic plug sockets. For faster and more convenient charging solutions it is recommended that a customers use a qualified electrician to fit a separate, dedicated charging circuit to their home electrical system and install a dedicated charging socket or vehicle charging wall box.
Each Jaguar Land Rover sales region has a preferred supplier in their market that can assess a consumer’s premises and make recommendations and arrange fitment for charging solutions based on consumers budget and electrical supply capabilities. If other suppliers are used they must guarantee the compatibility of the equipment.
Not necessarily: this depends on a number of different factors. There is a growing network of public charging points, with both standard and fast charging points available. In cities and on major roads, there are also many 'journey' and 'destination' charging points provided for your use.
Jaguar Land Rover BEV and PHEV vehicles will offer an 8 year or 160,000 km (whichever comes first), 70% state of charge warranty. The warranty is contingent upon proper use and maintenance of the vehicle and regular charging of the battery.
Kilowatt-hours is a measure of how much energy can be stored in a battery. For a given vehicle, a battery with greater capacity - more kWh - will have greater range and/or performance. For a given capacity, actual range will vary dependent on driving style and environmental conditions.
Motor manufacturers are currently working with governments and energy providers to ensure that increases in electric vehicle usage do not cause issues with national electricity networks.
Charging times will vary significantly dependent on equipment used and the electrical supply to which it is attached. The Home Charging Cable supplied, when connected to a domestic 230v/16amp plug socket can deliver a full charge in approximately eight hours, although this may vary by household. However the vehicle is equipped as standard with a 7kW on board charger which could deliver a full charge is as little as 2.3 hours if connected to a 230v/32 amp ‘Industrial’ type socket using a Multi-Function Cable, or to a 7kW wall box or public charging station using a Public Charging Cable.
Electric motors consume energy to provide motion. When this motion is no longer required (for example when a vehicle is slowing), the braking force can be harnessed to reverse the action of the motor and generate electricity. This is known as regenerative braking and the electricity generated can be fed back to the battery. Under the right conditions, the range of an electric vehicle can be extended by over 10% through the collection of regenerated electricity.

The Land Rover P400e can tow up to 2500kg using an Accessory detachable tow hitch. The Electrically Deployable towbar is not available due to the location of the high voltage battery and associated electrical equipment in the vehicle. All options to assist when towing such as Advanced Tow Assist and rear suspension lowering are available on the P400e. Towing is available in EV mode, but range will be reduced.
The off-road capabilities of our P400e are uncompromised and in some circumstances enhanced relative to the conventionally-engined vehicles. The P400e matches the wading depth of Range Rover (900mm) and Range Rover Sport (850mm) and the additional torque provided by the electric motor at low speed is an advantage in a variety of off-road situations. Additionally the Electric Vehicle mode is available in some of the Terrain Response modes. EV mode is available in low range for off road usage, but range will be limited.
P400e is fitted as standard with a tyre repair system and a spare wheel cannot be accommodated in the usual under-floor location. However a wheel bag and location strap system is available as an Accessory through Land Rover retailers that will enable a reduced section or full sized wheel to be stored safely in the loadspace when required.
All Jaguar Land Rover vehicles, including BEV's and PHEV's are designed and engineered to meet the most stringent global safety standards.
This innovative technology lowers emissions and improves performance, making it our most innovative engine yet.
