The Range Rover Electric is currently getting its drive system tested in locations ranging from Sweden to Dubai

Range Rover states that it is additionally currently conducting physical prototype testing of what is targeted to be its quietest and most refined Range Rover yet. On-road testing of the prototypes is being done in locations ranging from Sweden to Dubai, in temperatures ranging from -40 to 50 degrees Celsius, to ensure the robustness of the car's electric drive system as well as to guarantee the durability of its underfloor, the integrity of its chassis, and to test the dynamics of the vehicle itself.

All this comes after a of virtual development spanning front-end robustness, multi-body systems analysis that considers the demand on the chassis, and virtual wading at up to 50km/h.

The new Range Rover Electric will be designed, engineered, and built in Solihull, U.K. alongside the mild and plug-in hybrid Range Rover vehicles. The car's batteries and electric drive units will be built and assembled at Jaguar Land Rover's Electric Propulsion Manufacturing Centre in Wolverhampton, U.K. Those interested can register their interest in the car with Range Rover Singapore here.
