Range Rover & Land Rover Charging Cables

Three cables for plug-in Range Rover and Land Rover models, which use a Type 2 inlet in the UK.

One thing worth thinking about with a large vehicle is where the charge port ends up. On a long car parked on a driveway, a 5m lead can finish up stretched taut, which is hard on the connector over months of daily use. If there is any doubt, go to 10m. A cable should hang with a little slack in it rather than sit under tension. All our leads carry a 2 year manufacturer warranty.

Choosing the right cable for your Range Rover

Land Rover's plug-in range is almost entirely hybrid, and the batteries are larger than most PHEVs while the onboard chargers are middling. That combination makes cable choice matter more here than on a typical plug-in hybrid, and there is one widespread misunderstanding about these cars worth clearing up first.

The 3-pin socket in the cabin is not vehicle-to-load

Defender, Discovery and Range Rover models offer a domestic-style socket inside the vehicle. It is fed by a small inverter rated around 120 watts, enough for a laptop charger and not much else. It is not V2L, it cannot run power tools or a fridge, and no discharge cable will change that. If someone offers you a V2L lead for a Land Rover, it will not do what you are expecting.

Connector spec by model

  • Range Rover P550e / P460e (2022+): Type 2 + CCS. 7.4kW AC, 50kW DC. A 38.2kWh battery, unusually large for a plug-in hybrid.
  • Range Rover Sport PHEV (2022+): Type 2 + CCS. 7.4kW AC.
  • Velar P400e: Type 2. 7.4kW AC.
  • Evoque P300e: Type 2. 7kW AC.
  • Discovery Sport P300e: Type 2. 7kW AC.

A big plug-in battery still needs an overnight charge

The current Range Rover carries 38.2kWh, which is more than some early full EVs. At 7.4kW that is around six hours from empty, so it is an overnight charge rather than a top-up. The 32amp single-phase lead is the right rating and the cars cannot use more, so the three-phase cable is not worth considering.

Length recommendations

These are long vehicles and the charge port sits on the front wing on most models, which puts it a surprising distance from a wall box mounted near the garage door. 10m is the sensible default and 15m is not excessive on a longer driveway. Compare across our Type 2 charging cables.

Questions

Does my Range Rover have vehicle-to-load?
No. The 3-pin socket inside Defender, Discovery and Range Rover models is a low-power inverter rated at about 120 watts, for charging small devices. It is not V2L and no discharge cable will make it behave like one.
What cable does a Range Rover plug-in hybrid need?
A Type 2 lead. The 32amp single-phase Type 2 to Type 2 cable matches what these cars can draw.
How long does a full charge take?
Around six hours on the current Range Rover, which carries 38.2kWh and charges at 7.4kW. That is an overnight charge rather than a quick top-up.
Is the 22kW three-phase cable worth buying?
No. Land Rover plug-in hybrids cap at 7.4kW, so the extra capacity would never be used.
What length should I choose?
10m as a default. The charge port sits on the front wing on most models, which puts it further from a garage-mounted wallbox than owners expect.
