HOW TO CHARGE YOUR ELECTRIC HYBRID (PHEV)

When it comes to charging your plug-in electric hybrid (PHEV), life couldn’t be simpler. Here’s everything you need to know about getting the power to go electric every day.

ELECTRIC HYBRID CHARGING CONNECTORS

To connect to a charging point, your Land Rover electric hybrid uses a Combined Charging System (CCS). This is compatible with slower AC charging speeds, and on selected models, rapid DC charging speeds. Some other car manufacturers use different systems for charging such as CHAdeMO. These are less-widely used across the charging network and are incompatible with Land Rover electric hybrids.

AC CHARGING

The top part of your vehicle’s CCS inlet is used for AC charging (up to 7kW). The connectors that fit into this are known as a Type 2 connectors and compatible with your home charger, public AC charging points and domestic plug sockets.

RAPID DC CHARGING

On selected models, the lower half of your vehicle’s CCS inlet features two pins that combine with three of the pins above to provide rapid DC charging (up to 50kW) typically on highways and main roads. The two lower pins can be accessed by removing the lower socket cover.

ELECTRIC HYBRID CHARGING CABLES

Your electric hybrid is compatible with three types of charging cables for different power sources.

DOMESTIC PLUG CHARGING CABLE (LEVEL 1)

The Level 1 charging cable connects your vehicle to home sockets using a Type 2 connector on one end and a home plug on the other.

TETHERED AND WALL BOX AC CHARGING CABLE (LEVEL 2 AC)

A Level 2 charging cable connects your vehicle to home chargers (wall box) and public AC charging points. It features a Type 2 connector.

TETHERED RAPID DC CHARGING CABLE (LEVEL 3 DC)

A Rapid DC charging cable is always attached to public charging points on highways and main roads, so there’s no need to use your own cable. To charge, the cable’s connector must be plugged into both parts of your vehicle’s CCS inlet.
