The Top Gear magazine managed to test the “battery” SUV behind the polar circle to an official debut. It turned out that Land Rover relied on batteries of their own structure, since suppliers could not provide cells capable of working at temperatures -40 ° C to +50 ° C. The novelty has an 800-volt electric system with support for 350-kilowatt charging.
Thanks to the high body for an electric car, it was possible to adapt a bunk battery with a capacity of 117 kilowatt hours, consisting of 344 elements. According to preliminary data, the Range Rover EV will weigh about three tons, and the range will be up to 530 kilometers (WLTP). The two -engine power plant will develop 550 horsepower and 850 Nm of torque, which is comparable to V8 gasoline.
New Range Rover Sport, how will we remember Land Rover Defender how an auto business was lying a fool
The electric car has reduced the center of gravity, it is better to hang, and there is no mechanical connection between the axes: instead, new system control systems (Independent Driveeline Distribution) and Integrated Traction Management). The difference is that the first distributes streams along the axes, and the second is between the wheels. Compared to the fuel model, the reaction time has improved a hundred times.
Land Rover engineers believe that a two -engine power plant is better than a four -motor at Gelik for considerations of layout and weight. However, the “tank turn” Range Rover is not available. According to the company, there are at least 60 thousand interested customers, which is comparable to annual sales. Success will also depend on politics, because export in the United States has been stopped due to Trump’s duties.
