Electric Range Rover

Range Rover’s first electric vehicle prototype is now being tested in extreme conditions deployed at some challenging driving locations.

The first tests have focused on the capability of the battery and Electric Drive Unit — the vehicle’s core components including the transmission, electric motor and power electronics — in extreme sub-zero temperatures as low as –40°C in the frozen lakes of Sweden. Both the battery and EDU are assembled in house by JLR, in a first for the brand.
