Jaguar Land Rover Validates First All-Electric Range Rover With 118 kWh Battery

Prototypes demonstrate V8-level power, rapid 350 kW charging, advanced thermal control in extreme conditions, ahead of the 2026 launch.

Overview

  • JLR’s Range Rover Electric prototype uses an in-house 118 kWh NMC battery to deliver 550 PS, 850 Nm of torque and an estimated 300–330-mile range.
  • A dual-motor four-wheel-drive powertrain with Integrated Traction Management enables 0–62 mph acceleration in about 4.5 seconds while preserving off-road capability.
  • Thermal Assist technology channels heat for motor efficiency and rapid charging support down to –15 °C, and 350 kW DC capability charges the battery from 10 percent to 80 percent in roughly 20 minutes.
  • Built on the L460 MLA platform alongside combustion variants, the electric Range Rover enters production as JLR integrates its first EV-ready assembly line.
  • More than 62,000 prospective buyers have joined the waiting list ahead of the 2026 debut, with pricing expected to mirror the V8 petrol model at around £170,000.
