How Does the Range Rover PHEV Work?

Like a lot of Delray Beach drivers, you may be wondering about what differentiates a plug-in hybrid vehicle for a “regular”, or mild hybrid. How does the Range Rover PHEV work? Like a regular hybrid that is not plugged in, the Range Rover PHEV has both an electric motor and a combustion gas engine that work in tandem to propel the car. Unlike a hybrid that is not plugged in, a plug-in hybrid can run for a short distance solely on electric power.

Does the Range Rover PHEV Self-Charge?

So, it can be charged by being plugged in, but does the Range Rover PHEV self-charge? The technical answer is, yes, it does self-charge through a process called regenerative braking. This process uses the kinetic energy that is produced when the vehicle brakes to charge the battery. However, this will not fully charge the battery, so you will still need to plug it in at some point.

Range Rover EV Charging Methods

There are basically three ways to charge a Land Rover PHEV. Here are the different Range Rover EV charging methods:

• Level 1 Home Charging – Uses the cord that comes with the car and a standard wall outlet. May take up to 24 hours to charge.
• Level 2 Home Charging – Used a home charging wall unit that needs to be professionally installed. Takes up to 5 hours to charge.
• Public Charging – Uses public charging station. Can charge up to 80% in less than an hour.
