Range Rover EV/PHEV Charging Times & Costs

Everything you need to know about powering your Range Rover plug-in hybrid, from Level 1 vs Level 2 charging speeds to real-world electricity costs in Orange County.

How long does it take to charge a Range Rover?

Using a standard 240V Level 2 charger at home, the Range Rover PHEV takes about 4 to 5 hours to reach an 80% charge, or it can go from 0 to 100% overnight on a 7 kW wallbox. On the go, the vehicle supports 50 kW DC rapid charging, which replenishes the battery from 0 to 80% in under 1 hour.

Level 1 vs Level 2 Charging Times

The Range Rover plug-in hybrid features a robust 31.8-kWh usable battery capacity. This large pack size is what allows the SUV to achieve over 50 miles of all-electric range, but it also dictates which charging methods are most effective.

While a standard 120V household outlet (Level 1) can trickle-charge the battery, upgrading to a 240V Level 2 charger is highly recommended for daily driving convenience.

Charging Level Estimated Time Best Use Case
Level 1 (120V) 24+ Hours (Estimated) Occasional use or minor top-offs.
Level 2 (240V) 4–5 Hours to 80% Daily overnight home charging.
DC Fast (50 kW) Under 1 Hour to 80% Public rapid charging while traveling.

Cost to Charge a PHEV in OC

Charging costs depend on local utility rates. As of recent data, the average residential cost of electricity in Orange County, CA, is approximately 31 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh). This is higher than the national average, making fast, efficient charging even more valuable.

  • Battery Size: 31.8 kWh usable capacity.
  • Average OC Rate: ~$0.31 per kWh.
  • Estimated Full Charge: ~$9.86 from completely empty.

For less than $10, you can secure over 50 miles of emissions-free driving range, bypassing the gas station entirely for local commutes.

The DC Fast Charging Advantage

A standout feature of the Range Rover PHEV is its ability to utilize commercial DC fast chargers. Many competing luxury plug-in hybrid SUVs—such as the BMW X5 xDrive50e—are engineered exclusively for alternating-current (AC) Level 2 charging and cannot connect to DC rapid chargers.

The Range Rover PHEV supports DC charging up to 50 kW, enabling you to replenish your battery while shopping or dining.
