Anyone here getting a full EV Range Rover?

[Wheelspinning]

As per topic really....I am holding out for the full electric Range Rover finally being launched with a view to getting one.

I've had the new shape in both the diesel and plug in hybrid guise....I was very impressed with the mpg and range of the diesel, but even moreso that I traded the plug in hybrid back with a quarter tank of the original tank of petrol remaining after 9 months of mostly electric wafting by the wife.

It seems to be taking ages to be launched and the tiny drip of information...

Anyone in the know about how good these are going to be?

I'm contemplating one as my next EV on the company tax free scheme, it will be between this, the BMW IX and the Porsche Cayenne EV end of next year. Some information dripping out over the last couple of weeks, sounds like it'll look the same as the current full fat, more powerful than the V8 petrol non-hybrid.

My main concern is reliability on their first EV. Never owned one before but reports somewhat fill me with dread.

Not a full size, but after having 2 hybrid sports, P440e and then a P460e, will definitely be getting a fully electric sport if they make one.

I always thought of small car small journeys. Electric is perfect for that.

Big car for big journeys. Not sure I could be bothered with all the route planning, uncertainty or hanging around to go fully electric.

I think the electric RR is intended as a big car for small journeys - rich mummies taking kids to school, etc.

I'm keeping an interested watch but I can't see how they can give it decent range without it weighing a gazillion tonnes and it'll also be ££££££££

I assume the delay in production is to ensure it's pretty good on release with next to no issues...

I have had the old shape FFRR and new shapes FFRR and RRS, and contrary to most posters never had any issues whatsoever, so I will most likely always have one now.

Funnily enough, I have had 7 years of McLarens with no issues either...so not bad for being the 2 most unreliable brands on tinternet...
