Range Rover PHEV EV charger: which one fits best?
Every Range Rover plug-in hybrid charges at home on a single phase, at a maximum of about 7 kW. That matters when you pick a charger, because the car sets the limit: a more powerful charger does not charge your Range Rover any faster. For the Evoque, the Velar and the larger Range Rover Sport and Range Rover, you therefore choose a charger that matches this single-phase charging profile, not simply the fastest model in the range. You can also compare all Land Rover EV chargers in our overview.
For the Range Rover PHEV models we recommend a charger from our 7.4 kW EV chargers.
Check your vehicle documents or the charging menu on the car's display to confirm the on-board charger of your Range Rover.
Charging specifications per Range Rover PHEV model
The plug-in models differ a lot in battery size. The Evoque and Velar have a small battery, while the Range Rover Sport and the full-size Range Rover have a large one. The charging power is similar on every model: around 7 kW on a single-phase connection.
| Model | Battery | Max. AC charging power (home) | Electric range (WLTP) | Charging time at 7 kW |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Range Rover Evoque P300e | 15 kWh | approx. 7 kW (single-phase) | approx. 55–60 km | approx. 2 hours (including charging losses) |
| Range Rover Velar P400e | 17.1 kWh (19.2 kWh from model year 2024) | approx. 7 kW (single-phase) | approx. 53–64 km (depending on model year) | approx. 2.5 hours (including charging losses) |
| Range Rover Sport P440e / P460e | 38.2 kWh | 7 kW (single-phase) | approx. 113 km | approx. 5 hours (including charging losses) |
| Range Rover P440e / P460e | 38.2 kWh | 7 kW (single-phase) | approx. 113 km | approx. 5 hours (including charging losses) |
All models charge through a Type 2 connection, the standard in Europe. If you also want to charge your Range Rover on the road or at someone else's place, you need a separate Type 2 charging cable. At home you simply charge through the fixed connection of the charger.
Which EV charger suits a Range Rover PHEV?
Because your Range Rover charges at about 7 kW on one phase at home, a single-phase 7.4 kW charger gives it its full charging speed. A three-phase 11 kW EV charger is not a step up for this car. Such a charger supplies 16 A per phase, and a car that charges on one phase only uses one of them, so it drops to 3.7 kW and charges about half as fast.
A MID meter is a calibrated kWh meter that records exactly how much electricity you charge, separate from the rest of your household use. In our range, no single-phase 7.4 kW charger has a built-in MID meter: every charger with a MID meter is a three-phase model. If you want one, look at a 22 kW EV charger. It supplies 32 A per phase, so your Range Rover keeps its full 7 kW on one phase. It does need a three-phase connection that can supply 32 A per phase, which your installer can check. A 22 kW charger also leaves room for a fully electric car that charges faster on three phases.
How long does a Range Rover PHEV take to charge?
With its 15 kWh battery, the Evoque P300e is full again in about 2 hours at 7 kW, including charging losses. The Range Rover Sport P440e has a much larger 38.2 kWh battery and takes around 5 hours. Plug the car in in the evening and you leave with a full battery every morning, even with the large models. On the road, most Range Rover PHEVs also support DC fast charging, up to 32 kW on the Evoque and up to 50 kW on the Sport, the full-size Range Rover and the Velar from model year 2024.

Frequently asked questions
Does a Range Rover PHEV need a three-phase charger?
No. Every Range Rover plug-in hybrid charges on one phase at a maximum of about 7 kW. An 11 kW three-phase charger even charges it more slowly, at 3.7 kW, because the car only uses one phase. A single-phase 7.4 kW charger gives it its full speed. Among the three-phase chargers, only a 22 kW model on a connection with 32 A per phase also delivers the full 7 kW.
Why is a MID meter important for your EV charger?
A MID meter is a calibrated kWh meter that records your charging consumption accurately. That way you know exactly what charging at home costs you, separate from your household consumption. We always recommend having the connection made by a qualified electrician, as that is safer. Wallbox Discounter can arrange the installation in the Netherlands, Flemish Belgium and Germany.
