Range Rover is getting ready to introduce the first electric Range Rover, which is simply called the Range Rover Electric. The Range Rover Electric is slated to arrive later in 2024, but it's currently being tested in some of the harshest conditions around the world. The fully electric powertrain is being put through the paces in the freezing temperatures of the Arctic Circle to the intense heat in the deserts of the Middle East. It's even being tested on the frozen lakes of Sweden to make sure it is just as capable on low-grip surfaces. It will also be able to wade through up to 33.4 inches of water. The new traction control system and electric powertrain allow for increased capability. According to Range Rover, Rather than a traditional traction control setup based solely in the ABS unit, Range Rover Electric distributes the wheel slip management task directly to each individual electric drive control unit, reducing the torque reaction time at each wheel from around 100 milliseconds, to as little as 1 millisecond. The Range Rover Electric will be based on an 800-volt architecture. You can already join the waitlist if you want to be one of the first buyers to be able to pre-order it.
