Range Rover unveils its first fully electric model, the Range Rover Electric, starting around $138,000 in the US, aiming to keep the brand’s luxury and off‑road prowess with twin 260kW motors delivering up to 550PS and 850Nm, 0–60 mph in 4.3 seconds, and a 118.5 kWh 800‑volt battery rated for about 372 miles of range (not EPA‑certified yet). It supports rapid charging (10–80% in about 22 minutes; ~137 miles added in 10 minutes at peak) and comes with a native North American Charging Standard port, enabling Tesla Supercharger access.
