The 2019 Range Rover hybrid has an all electric range of 31 miles. Maybe an older model has a 1 mile electric range? That didn't pass the smell test so I had to look it up.
- gambiting 8y agoYeah the new 400e has more range. The original that came out few years ago had only 1 mile range, as mentioned in the brochure: https://www.landrover.com/Images/HYBRID_FAQ_GUIDE_Intreactive_tcm281-129251.pdf https://www.landrover.com/Images/HYBRID_FAQ_GUIDE_Intreactiv... "How far can my Range Rover Hybrid travel using just the electric motor? When Electric Vehicle mode is activated manually using the EV button, the EV light on the instrument cluster will glow green. The Range Rover Hybrid will drive silently at slow speeds for a distance of up to 1 mile/1.6km provided the hybrid battery is fully charged when EV mode is activated"
- Retric 8y agoThat's actually plenty of storage to be useful to a hybrid vehicle. Remember, that battery is always charged by the engine so the trade-off of less weight also means longer range. The vast majority of the efficiency gains in city driving from a non plug in Hybrid is regenerative breaking. Sure, slowing down across a huge mountain represents a lot of energy, but making stop an go traffic vastly more efficient takes very little storage.

- ehnto 8y agoAt first that sounded ridiculous but actually it might be just right for an SUV in suburbia. Day to day driving is electric, then long distance is combustion. Pretty much what I would need in Australia.
