If we look at the technical data, we can see that the Electric E-Range has a top speed of 85mph and accelerates from 0-60mph in about seven seconds, with a range of up to 200 miles on one charge.
This electric vehicle will also introduce so called "wireless charging" which means that instead of using conventional leads and plugs, the car is parked over an induction plate and charges automatically.
Liberty has also announced that the battery can be charged in one to three hours from a fast charger or using the optional induction system. They were also very proud that at 75kw, the LEC battery pack is the largest ever installed in an electric car yet, but thanks to its advanced technology, weighs less than many lower capacity packs used in other electric vehicles.
The lifespan of the battery is regarded by many as one of the major drawbacks of electric cars, but that shouldn't be an issue with the Electric E-Range, because Liberty claims that this electric car has a battery lifespan of more than 13 years and 300,000 miles, a significantly larger number than any other electric vehicle.
Of course, such a technologically advanced electric car comes with the hefty price tag of around £150,000 ($225,000). On the other hand you get to have all the power, luxury and prestige that comes with the Range Rover without doing damage to the environment.
