A Range Rover without the sound of an engine? This combination has now become a reality. On September 2, 2026, the company unveiled its first fully electric Range Rover. The public had eagerly awaited it for years. It delivers 542 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque. Per the company, it surpasses those of any previous Range Rover. The vehicle offers up to 333 miles per single charge, per US EPA ratings. It also supports rapid charging with 350 kW fast chargers. Read on to learn how it differs from petrol and diesel models. It will be available for purchase, and its price will be announced.
Is There a Fully Electric Range Rover Available Now?
Can the electric Range Rover be purchased right now? While orders have opened, there is still some time before the vehicle actually reaches customers. Bookings began on September 2, 2026, and according to Jaguar Land Rover, initial deliveries are scheduled for between October and December 2026. The vehicle was also showcased to the public at the 2026 Goodwood Festival of Speed. By June 2026, approximately 78,000 people had expressed interest by joining the waiting list—a figure that highlights the intense anticipation surrounding the vehicle.
I intentionally changed two details in your original paragraph. First, labeling the 78,000 registrations as “pre-orders” is incorrect, as no deposit was required to join the waiting list. Second, I removed the reference to a preview at Wimbledon because I could not find a reliable source to confirm it.
A Long Road to Launch
The wait for the electric Range Rover wasn’t just a matter of a few months; it was a journey spanning nearly five years. Jaguar Land Rover announced in 2021 that its first electric vehicle would arrive in 2024. The timeline was subsequently pushed to late 2025, and in July 2025, those on the waiting list were informed that the vehicle would arrive in 2026. According to reports, the company cited the need for further testing and a desire to wait for increased demand for electric vehicles as the reasons. Meanwhile, a cyberattack in August 2025 also halted the company’s production for several weeks.
This is the version I provided earlier. I omitted the claim regarding V8-level off-road capability from your paragraph because the reasons for the delay cited in reports were testing requirements and weak demand. I used the term “waiting list” instead of “reservation holders” because no deposit was required to join it.
Range Rover Electric Specs: Power, Battery, and Range
More power than a V8, even without an engine? That is what the specs suggest for the electric Range Rover. It features an electric motor on each axle, making it all-wheel drive. The EV 550 version delivers a combined output of 542 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque (approximately 850 Nm). These figures exceed those of the optional twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 by 19 horsepower and 74 lb-ft, respectively.
I have corrected a few details from your original paragraph. The “550 horsepower” figure actually refers to 550 PS, which equates to 542 horsepower. I could not find a reliable source for the 660 lb-ft torque figure; 850 Nm actually converts to 627 lb-ft. Since the figure of 260 kW per motor appeared in only one source, I have omitted it to avoid confusion. Also, the optional V8 engine is twin-turbocharged, not supercharged.
Battery Size and Driving Range
The real story of the electric Range Rover lies beneath its floor, where two battery packs are stacked one atop the other. They contain 344 prismatic cells that collectively provide 118.5 kWh of usable energy. According to the company, using an 800-volt electrical system and a 350 kW fast charger, the battery charges from 10% to 80% in approximately 22 minutes. Its maximum range is rated at 333 miles (roughly 536 km) in US EPA tests, while it is cited as reaching up to 598 km under the WLTP standard.
I have omitted two details from your original paragraph. I could not find a reliable source for the comparison with Porsche and the Hyundai Ioniq, and describing this range as “competitive” for a vehicle of this size is a matter of opinion rather than fact. Instead, I have included the charging time, as confirmed by the company. I have also listed the two range figures separately to avoid confusing the reader regarding why a single vehicle has two different range ratings.
Charging Speed
Just 10 minutes of charging for a range of approximately 200 kilometers? According to the company, this is possible with the Range Rover Electric. Using a 350 kW fast charger, it gains a range of about 125 miles in 10 minutes, and the battery charges from 10% to 80% in 22 minutes. The US model also features Tesla’s NACS port, meaning Superchargers can be used without an adapter.
What Does the Electric Range Rover Look Like?
Can you tell the Range Rover Electric is electric just by looking at it? Probably not. Jaguar Land Rover has deliberately kept its design similar to the petrol model, as reports indicate that its customers prefer a simple aesthetic. The only differences are that the upper grille is largely closed off, the wheels feature a new aerodynamic design, and the lower section has been redesigned. The easiest way to identify it is the “EV” lettering on the center of the wheels.
Trim Levels Available
Before purchasing the electric Range Rover, it is important to know about its available versions. At launch, the SE, Autobiography, and First Edition models are available, while the SV, SV Black, and SV Ultra sit above them, featuring bespoke designs, colors, and materials from the company’s Special Vehicle Operations division.
The vehicle is offered in both standard and long-wheelbase configurations. In the US, prices range from $138,000 to $252,800 for the SV Ultra, with a separate destination fee. Model names may vary by market; for instance, the SE is designated as the HSE in the UK.
Range Rover Electric Price and Availability
The speculation is over; pricing for the Range Rover Electric has been revealed. In the US, prices start at $138,000 and go up to $252,800 for the top-tier SV Ultra version, with a separate destination fee of $2,450. In the UK, the price ranges from £154,070 to £225,240; according to British reports, this pricing aligns closely with the V8 version. Since final prices may vary by country due to taxes and other costs, be sure to verify with a local dealer before purchasing.
Does an Electric Range Rover Still Off-Road Like a Real One?
Can the electric Range Rover handle muddy terrain and mountain trails? The company claims there has been no compromise on off-road capability. In ‘one-pedal driving’ mode, it can easily start on a 33-degree incline and climb slopes of up to 45 degrees. Its traction management system adjusts motor speed within 50 milliseconds if a wheel slips—a response time the company claims is 100 times faster than that of a combustion-engine vehicle.
It has undergone testing in conditions ranging from extreme cold—minus 40 degrees—to the deserts of Dubai; however, these claims currently come solely from the company, and independent tests are yet to be conducted.
What Comes After the Range Rover Electric?
The electric Range Rover isn’t arriving alone; a whole lineup is in the works. Reports indicate that the next-generation Velar EV is expected to be unveiled by late 2026, with production scheduled to begin in 2027 at the Halewood plant in the UK. The Defender Sport EV is also expected to be manufactured at the same plant.
Both vehicles will be smaller and built on a new platform known as the Electrified Modular Architecture. Since these dates have not yet been officially confirmed by the company, it is advisable to check the latest updates from Jaguar Land Rover before publication.
