    Yes, coming to a pavement near you, yes, it can climb kerbs and sit in intercity traffic jams.

    So it’s not here yet, as it’s a prototype? At least going EV will make it more reliable.

      I think quite the opposite .. new Version 1 technology from Land Rover a company known for faults and unreliability .. recipe for bad times in my opinion. Maybe once its matured.

      It wont. The engines are fine now since its a bmw engine. The biggest problems with Range Rovers have to do with the electrics.

    How many 350kW chargers does there need to be before you stop doing to the “IF you can find a charger fast enough” bit? Because whenever I’m on a long drive in UK they are pretty easy to find.

      I suppose they mean if you’re on a long journey you’ll find one easier than going around town. I suspect that’s when the 350kW chargers are hard to find.

      they have to mention this as otherwise someone who’s not into electric cars will assume that it will charge with 350 kW regardless.

      Not many chargers (even 3kW kerbside chargers) in the places that this car is capable of going and I bet offroad you won’t see anywhere near the claimed 300 miles range. I took a Jaguar I-Pace off-roading and everything was very very impressive except it simply haemorrhaged electrons out of the battery

      just like the Mercedes Gwagen the exact same strategy except it has just two electric motors. the Mercedes cannot legally tow because its already too heavy for regular licence, how funny is that?

      Range Rover aren’t noted for their reliability, so it wouldn’t take much to be more reliable. With less to go wrong as with all EVs you would hope JLR have pulled it off.

      That’s a low bar, LR would have to have a total mess to be as bad as their ICE powertrain.

      @toby.maximillian Must be? A 1st generation anything from JLR has historically been anything but reliable. I’d wait a few years until the vehicle gets sorted out (especially that dual stack battery and the ‘puncture resistant casing’.

    A Dutch presenter said during the review of the electric G580 that this type of car is bought by people with an attitude of “I don’t care what others think; a bit antisocial.” And now this group has suddenly developed environmental guilt?

    An electric Range Rover is a Range Rover and there will always be a market for them, especially amongst those for whom the price is irrelevant. It will replace some very polluting cars. I think that JLR need to get hold of some solid state batteries ASAP.

    If we need to have these monsters, let them be electric. This is a huge step forward. First Range Rover I could imagine owning, if only I would need one and afford it. I will probably go soon with the baby one, Smart #5 Brabus. Funny, it has even more power with third of the price.
