JLR opened U.S. orders for the first electric Range Rover on September 2 at an MSRP of $138,000. That is the price of a Range Rover SE with the 523-hp twin-turbo V8, and $24,700 more than the SE with the 395-hp inline-six.
Two 260 kW motors give the Range Rover Electric 542 hp and 627 lb-ft, and JLR quotes 0 to 60 mph in as little as 4.3 seconds. Its usable battery capacity is 118.5 kWh, and the company’s range figure is up to 333 miles.
Key Takeaways
- The Range Rover Electric starts at $138,000 before a $2,450 destination charge, which brings it to $140,450.

- A 350 kW DC charger takes the 118.5 kWh battery from 10% to 80% in about 22 minutes, and a NACS port is built in.

- The First Edition is electric only and starts at $176,700, or $181,400 with the long wheelbase.
The Electric and the V8 Share the SE’s $138,000 Price
JLR’s U.S. release gives one price for the Range Rover Electric: “offered from an MSRP of $138,000 in the US.” Range Rover’s consumer site lists the SE from $113,300, which is the P400 mild-hybrid six, and adds a $2,450 destination charge to every model.
JLR’s U.S. configurator prices the 2027 SE with the P530 V8 at $138,000 as well. The SE with the P550e plug-in hybrid is $128,900.
| Range Rover SE, standard wheelbase | P400 inline-six | P530 V8 | EV550 Electric |
|---|---|---|---|
| MSRP before destination | $113,300 | $138,000 | $138,000 |
| Output | 395 hp | 523 hp | 542 hp |
| Torque | 406 lb-ft | 553 lb-ft | 627 lb-ft |
| 0-60 mph | 5.3 seconds | 4.4 seconds | 4.3 seconds |
| EPA combined / range | 21 mpg | 19 mpg | 333 miles (JLR estimate) |
| Towing capacity | 7,716 lb | 7,716 lb | 5,511 lb |
By JLR’s figures, the electric model’s 4.3 seconds to 60 mph is a tenth quicker than the V8’s 4.4.
JLR also quotes 50 to 75 mph in as little as 2.7 seconds.
Range Rover’s U.S. electric page gives a different torque figure, 660 lb-ft. JLR’s release figure of 627 lb-ft matches the 850 N·m it published globally.
First Edition Is Electric Only and Starts at $176,700
Order books cover SE, Autobiography, SV, SV Black and SV Ultra, in short or long wheelbase, plus a First Edition offered in Belgravia Green, Santorini Black or Varesine Blue.
Range Rover lists the EV550 as the First Edition’s only powertrain, from $176,700, or $181,400 as a long wheelbase. On every other trim that offers it, the configurator gives the electric and the V8 one price.
| Trim | V8 and EV550, standard wheelbase | V8 and EV550, long wheelbase |
|---|---|---|
| SE | $138,000 | Not offered with five seats |
| Autobiography | $174,800 | $179,500 |
| First Edition (EV550 only) | $176,700 | $181,400 |
| SV | $219,500 | $245,700 |
| SV Black | $238,900 | $260,900 |
| SV Ultra | $252,800 | $275,000 |
Seven-seat versions of the SE and Autobiography list only gasoline engines, and the SE is not offered as a five-seat long wheelbase.
The 333-Mile Range Comes From JLR’s Own Tests
JLR prints the figure as “up to 333 miles (EPA)” and footnotes it: “The figures provided are as a result of JLR’s tests in accordance with US legislation.” Fueleconomy.gov’s 2027 Land Rover listings on October 7 held only mild-hybrid models.
JLR’s U.S. configurator lists an EPA-estimated range of 341 miles for the SE, with energy consumption marked to be confirmed. The company’s global release calls 333 miles a real-world figure and gives 372 miles on Europe’s WLTP cycle.
Its battery is a double-stack pack of 344 prismatic cells, which Range Rover’s site identifies as nickel manganese cobalt, on an 800-volt architecture. JLR says its ThermAssist heat management adds up to 25 miles of range and cuts heating energy use by 40%.
Battery packs and electric drive units come from JLR’s Electric Propulsion Manufacturing Centre in Wolverhampton, and final assembly is at Solihull.
JLR warrants the battery for eight years or 100,000 miles.
A 350 kW Charger Takes It From 10% to 80% in About 22 Minutes
That time applies when the vehicle is charging at its maximum rate, according to the release, which also quotes 125 miles added in 10 minutes. The configurator puts the same 10% to 80% charge at 32 minutes on a 250 kW unit and 38 minutes on a 150 kW one.
North American buyers get Tesla Supercharger access through the built-in NACS port.
At home, Range Rover’s site quotes a full charge in as little as nine hours on a 19.2 kW AC charger and 15 hours on a 9.6 kW unit.
Towing Capacity Is 5,511 lb, Down From 7,716 lb
Range Rover’s electric page lists towing at “up to 5,511 lbs,” which is 2,500 kg. JLR rates the gasoline P400 and P530 at 7,716 lb and the plug-in hybrid at 6,614 lb, so the electric gives up 2,205 lb of trailer to the gas engines.
Wading depth is up to 35 inches, the same 900 mm the gas models manage. JLR says its traction management controls motor speed within 50 milliseconds, and a second system distributes rear torque from 0% to 100%.
A Single Pedal mode pulls away on slopes up to 33 degrees and holds a rolling climb on grades up to 45 degrees, the release says.
EPA Range for Other Large Electric SUVs
EPA ratings put the two-row Lucid Gravity Grand Touring at 450 miles and the Rivian R1S Quad at 374 miles on 22-inch wheels, both above JLR’s 333-mile figure. The Cadillac Escalade IQ has no listing on fueleconomy.gov.
| Model | Output | Range | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2027 Range Rover Electric | 542 hp | 333 miles | JLR estimate |
| 2027 Lucid Gravity Grand Touring (two-row) | 828 hp | 450 miles | EPA |
| 2027 Rivian R1S Quad (22-inch wheels) | 1,025 hp | 374 miles | EPA |
| 2026 Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 SUV | 649 hp | 300 miles | EPA |
| 2027 Mercedes-Benz G 580 with EQ Technology | 579 hp | 249 miles | EPA |
JLR Has Not Given a U.S. Delivery Date
JLR prices the Range Rover Electric level with the V8 on every trim that offers both, starting at $138,000 for the SE, which is $24,700 above the six-cylinder. It makes 19 hp more than the V8, is claimed to reach 60 mph a tenth sooner and tows 2,205 lb less. JLR’s 333-mile figure has no EPA listing behind it yet, and the release that opened orders on September 2 does not say when U.S. deliveries start.
