Your {M} in the table, the cable in the last column
Your model in the first column, the lead you need in the last. The row links through to the full page for that car, with the charge port position and the charging times worked out.
Four plug-in hybrids, all Type 2, and all four land on the same number. That makes the only real decisions the length and, on the older cars, where you will find the socket.
How the models differ, and where it matters
Anything above 7.4 kW in a specification sheet is counting phases a house does not have.
The Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Evoque and Discovery Sport plug-in hybrids all run a 7 kW charger, and it is single phase. A British house therefore delivers the whole of it, which is a better outcome than an 11 kW three phase car manages on the same driveway. The ratings mislead in one direction only. Single phase chargers deliver what they say here; three phase ones deliver a third of it, so the two end up closer than the numbers suggest. A 32 amp lead is what reaches 7 kW.
The genuine difference between these cars is where the flap is. On the current Range Rover and Range Rover Sport the socket sits in the rear flank, opposite the fuel filler. On the earlier cars it was in the FRONT GRILLE, behind the badge, which is about as far from a rear quarter as it is possible to get on the same model name. Buying a five metre lead for a car you assumed charged at the back is the mistake this page exists to prevent.
Because these are large vehicles, the length decision matters more here than on almost any other brand. A Range Rover is over five metres long, so the difference between a front and a rear socket is most of a cable size.
Working out the length
Choosing a length is a measuring job, not a guessing one. Run a tape from the charge point to where the charging socket will end up, then add a couple of metres for routing. Ten metres covers most British driveways and five is enough when the charge point is right beside the car.
On a five metre car with a rear socket, ten metres is the honest recommendation and fifteen is worth considering for a garage mounted charge point. The grille-charging cars parked nose in are the exception and manage on less.
How the cables are made
Underneath, every lead here is the same product. Tinned copper, sealed IP67 heads moulded in one piece, a sheath that stays supple in the cold, and two years of cover with free next day delivery.
The Jaguar range sits alongside it, and the Volvo range covers comparable plug-in hybrid SUVs.
Does a Range Rover plug-in hybrid get its full charging speed at home?
Yes. Its 7 kW charger is single phase, so a British 32A charge point supplies all of it with nothing lost to missing phases.
Where is the charge socket on a Range Rover?
On the current car it is in the rear flank, opposite the fuel filler. On earlier cars it was in the front grille behind the badge, so check which you have.
Do all four models charge at the same rate?
Yes. The Range Rover, Sport, Evoque and Discovery Sport plug-in hybrids all take 7 kW.
Which length for a Range Rover?
Ten metres for the rear-socket cars given their length, or fifteen if your charge point is in a garage and the car parks outside it.
Do I need a 32A cable?
Yes, to reach 7 kW. A 16A lead would hold the car to about 3.7 kW.
