The first all-electric Range Rover opened for UK orders on 2 September 2026. Built in Solihull, priced from £154,070 on the road and with up to 372 miles of official range, it is the most significant launch of the year for anyone who drives a Range Rover, or wants to. Here are the numbers that matter, and why the tax position for a company director looks nothing like it does for a petrol or diesel Range Rover.
The key figures
| Item | Figure |
|---|---|
| UK price | From £154,070 on the road |
| Official range (WLTP) | Up to 372 miles |
| Range Rover's real-world range estimate | Up to 333 miles |
| Usable battery | 118.5kWh, 800-volt architecture |
| Rapid charging (350kW DC) | 10-80% in around 22 minutes, or 137 miles added in 10 minutes (WLTP) |
| Power and performance | Up to 550PS and 850Nm; 0-60mph in as little as 4.3 seconds |
| Body styles | Standard and long wheelbase |
| Specifications | SE, HSE, Autobiography, SV, SV Ultra, SV Black and a launch First Edition |
| Wading depth | Up to 900mm |
| Warranty on the electric propulsion | Eight years or 100,000 miles |
These are Range Rover's own figures. Range and charging times vary by specification, wheels, temperature, driving style and the charger used, so check the figures for the exact derivative you are considering.
Range Rover has not published a UK delivery date in its launch material. If you are thinking about ordering, realistic build and delivery timing is one of the first things to confirm.
Why the tax picture is so different
For a company car driver, Benefit in Kind is where an electric Range Rover changes everything. Zero-emission cars sit in the lowest company car tax band, and the rates are already legislated to 2029/30.
| Tax year | BIK rate | Taxable benefit | Tax at 40% | Tax at 45% |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026/27 | 4% | £6,160 | £2,464 | £2,772 |
| 2027/28 | 5% | £7,700 | £3,080 | £3,465 |
| 2028/29 | 7% | £10,780 | £4,312 | £4,851 |
| 2029/30 | 9% | £13,860 | £5,544 | £6,237 |
For comparison, a car in this year's top band of 37% with the same P11D value would carry a taxable benefit of £56,980, meaning £22,792 of tax a year for a 40% taxpayer. The employer also pays Class 1A National Insurance at 15% on the benefit, which on the electric car is £924 in 2026/27.
The P11D value is the list price including options and VAT, but excluding the first registration fee and first year's road tax, so the real figure depends on the exact specification. Every option you add raises it.
Road tax: the Expensive Car Supplement applies
Since 1 April 2026, electric cars registered from 1 April 2025 only pay the Expensive Car Supplement if their list price is above £50,000. At £154,070 and upwards, the Range Rover Electric is well above that threshold, so the supplement, currently £440 a year on top of the £200 standard rate, applies from the second year of licensing for five years. On contract hire, road tax is normally built into the rental for the term, but check the quotation to be sure.
If you are leasing through a business
- No lease rental restriction. The 15% disallowance on lease rentals applies to cars emitting more than 50g/km of CO2. A zero-emission car is not affected.
- VAT. A VAT-registered business can normally reclaim 50% of the VAT on the rental where the car is available for private use, and all of the VAT on a separately stated maintenance charge.
- Compare over the whole term. Company car tax rises each year to 2029/30, so run the numbers for every tax year the agreement covers, not just the first.
If you are leasing personally
With personal contract hire, you agree a fixed rental and mileage and hand the car back at the end. You are not exposed to what a first-generation electric Range Rover is worth in three or four years' time, which is a real consideration with any new electric model at this level.
Worth checking before you order
- Home charging. On a typical 7kW home charger, taking a 118.5kWh battery from 10% to full would take around 15 hours, so most owners will top up overnight rather than charge from low. Range Rover's app lets you schedule charging to use lower-cost overnight tariffs.
- Winter range. Like every electric car, range falls in cold weather. Range Rover says its ThermAssist heat management adds up to 25 miles of range and cuts heating energy use by 40%. Plan with a margin all the same.
- Specification and tax. Wheels and options change both the range and the P11D value. Settle the specification with both in mind.
