The 2027 Range Rover Electric brings the original full-size Range Rover into the battery-electric era. It is a distinct model from the already announced Range Rover Sport Electric: this flagship uses the EV550 dual-motor all-wheel-drive powertrain, an 118.5kWh battery and an 800V electrical architecture.
Australian orders are open ahead of customer deliveries scheduled from 2027. The entry point is $317,718 before on-road costs, so this is not an electric SUV chosen for low upfront spend. Its interest lies in pairing a large battery and high-power charging with the familiar Range Rover mix of quietness, towing and serious all-terrain ability.
Australian price and grades
The Australian line-up is standard-wheelbase only at launch and uses the same EV550 electric powertrain across three grades. The figures below are Australian list prices before on-road costs, rather than drive-away prices; registration, stamp duty, insurance and retailer charges vary by state and buyer circumstances.
| 2027 Range Rover Electric grade | Australian price | Price basis |
|---|---|---|
| EV550 HSE | $317,718 | Before on-road costs |
| EV550 Autobiography | $357,718 | Before on-road costs |
| EV550 SV | $417,418 | Before on-road costs |
The listed prices are the latest reported Australian figures and exclude on-road costs. Confirm the final drive-away figure, options and delivery timing with a Range Rover retailer before ordering.
Battery, range and performance
Range Rover describes the pack as a usable 118.5kWh lithium-ion, double-stacked battery with 344 prismatic cells. Two 260kW permanent-magnet motors provide all-wheel drive and a combined output of about 405kW. Peak torque is quoted at 850Nm in Dynamic Launch and Off-Road driving modes, while the claimed 0–100km/h time is 4.5 seconds.
The Australian product page quotes up to 600km NEDC of electric range. NEDC is a standardised comparison test, not a promise of what every trip will deliver. Temperature, speed, terrain, payload, towing, wheel choice, accessories and battery condition all affect what an owner sees in use. Global material also refers to a WLTP figure, but that should not be treated as the locally certified figure.
The 600km NEDC figure should be used to compare similarly tested vehicles. It is not a guaranteed Australian real-world range, particularly when the vehicle is loaded, travelling quickly or towing.
Charging: the benefit of 800V hardware
The key technical story is the 800V architecture. On a suitable 350kW DC charger, Range Rover quotes a 10–80 per cent charge in around 22 minutes and up to 220km of additional range in ten minutes. At home, the official Australian page quotes a 0–100 per cent charge from seven hours with 22kW AC charging, or 19 hours with 7kW AC charging.
| Charging and core EV data | Claimed figure |
|---|---|
| Battery | 118.5kWh usable lithium-ion |
| System architecture | 800V |
| DC charging | Up to 350kW; 10–80% in around 22 minutes |
| DC top-up | Up to 220km in 10 minutes |
| AC charging | 22kW: 0–100% from seven hours; 7kW: 19 hours |
| Claimed electric range | Up to 600km NEDC |
Peak DC power and quoted charging times depend on battery temperature, starting state of charge, charger capability and conditions. A 350kW-labelled charger does not guarantee the vehicle will receive 350kW throughout a session.
For a broader look at how connected charging is changing in Australia, see evee’s guide to smart EV charging. The Range Rover can also be scheduled through the Range Rover app, but buyers should discuss local charging hardware and installation with an appropriately qualified installer.
A Range Rover first: capability and refinement
Electrification does not make this a soft-road-only flagship. The full-size Range Rover Electric retains a quoted 900mm wading depth and a 2,500kg maximum towing capacity. Those figures are meaningful for an electric luxury SUV, although owners should allow for the usual towing and terrain effects on energy use and range.
The lower centre of gravity from the battery, twin-chamber air suspension and single-pedal driving are intended to preserve that broad-shouldered Range Rover character while making its responses quieter and more immediate. For another take on high-voltage luxury EV hardware, evee’s 2027 BMW iX4 Australia guide shows how a very different premium electric SUV approaches range and charging.
What Australian buyers should weigh up
The Range Rover Electric is an unusually complete first attempt on paper: a large battery, very fast DC claim, serious wading depth and a familiar flagship shape. Its trade-off is clear in the price table. The $317,718 starting point before on-road costs places it firmly at the luxury end of the market, and expensive options can move the final figure considerably.
Australian buyers also need to separate the compelling peak figures from day-to-day conditions. A suitable high-power public charger is central to the fastest charge claim; home charging time depends on the supply and equipment installed. The battery warranty is eight years or up to 160,000km, whichever comes first, subject to the published terms and exclusions.
The model is available to order in Australia, with customer deliveries scheduled from 2027. If you are comparing what is on the market now with what is next, search electric cars with evee to explore the broader EV landscape and compare the kind of charging and range questions that matter to your own driving.
The bottom line
Range Rover Electric is not the Range Rover Sport Electric with a similar badge; it is the full-size flagship’s own EV550 version. It arrives with a substantial $317,718 before-on-road-costs entry price, up to 600km NEDC claimed range, a 118.5kWh battery and a 350kW DC charging claim. For buyers who want full-size Range Rover capability with zero tailpipe emissions, it is one of the most consequential premium BEV arrivals scheduled for 2027.
