The short version

JLR officially introduced the 2027 Range Rover Electric, marking the flagship model's first fully battery-powered version in its 57-year history.
The vehicle pairs dual motors generating 542 horsepower with a roughly 119-kWh battery pack, providing an estimated 333 miles of range and 350-kW fast-charging capability.
The launch arrives amid corporate headwinds for JLR, including supply disruptions, falling profits, and fewer than 300 planned job cuts.
Deliveries are slated for the 2027 model year, with prices starting at $138,000 to $140,550 in the United States and £154,070 in the United Kingdom.

The vehicle is assembled at JLR's Solihull plant in the West Midlands, supported by battery pack and electric drive unit manufacturing in Wolverhampton and electrification training for 10,500 workers.[BBC News]
The rollout comes after extended development delays from its original 2024 target date and during a period of JLR restructuring, following a major cyber attack and a fire at a Norwegian supplier that cut first-quarter profits to £66 million.[Wired · BBC News]
U.S. base pricing starts between $138,000 and $140,550 depending on trim and destination fees, while U.K. entry models start at £154,070.[Wired · Car and Driver]

Whether demand among luxury EV consumers will be sufficient remains unclear, as segment competitors such as the electric Mercedes G-Wagen have faced sluggish sales.[Wired]
