Just like the rest of your Land Rover, the powerful Lithium-ion battery inside your plug-in electric hybrid (PHEV) is designed to inspire total driving confidence, year after year and in all conditions.
Here we explain the durable technology powering the electric side of our electric hybrids and how it’s playing a key role in our sustainable future.
The battery in your Land Rover electric hybrid consists of several individual Lithium-ion modules working together inside a single rechargeable pack.
Pressing your Land Rover’s accelerator delivers power from the battery to the electric motor driving the wheels. This gradually consumes the amount of electricity stored, until it’s time to plug in and recharge again.
Plug-in electric hybrid batteries are designed to last even longer than the life of your Land Rover. Unlike the much smaller version of a Lithium-ion battery found inside your laptop or mobile phone, a Land Rover electric hybrid battery uses specific technologies and techniques to optimise its performance for many years and many thousands of kilometres.
This includes sophisticated liquid-cooling systems and a smart buffer that helps to protect the battery from the wearing effects of constant charging.
Extending the life of our electric hybrid batteries is at the heart of our sustainability strategy.
