I was thinking the same. More Alex/Robert combo please!!

Electrochemistry? :-)

Yep, batteries have chemistry too!

They are both bright sparks.....Sorry about that. Nice to see Roberts place as the background ;)

I guess Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account? I was dumb forgot the password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me!

Yes, I chuckled all the way through. I've had lots of RR and live in the deep countryside, and grow lots of trees, so have the excuse. Its best to have an older one so that its not a huge shame to scratch the paintwork on brambles, but always the problem is the fuel consumption. Because the car is utterly supreme at all the rest: comfort, space, towing capacity and utter charm, you can forgive it, mostly, but all the same it would be far nicer to have all that and not have to buy the cake to feed it. RR, with the hybrid, are going in the right direction and I really, really look forward to seeing the fully battery-electric versions when they arrive. Four motors, one for each wheel is going to give fabulous off-road capability after all.

British humour has a _u_ in it. ;-)

JAGUAR Land Rover........... It's a transitional vehicle.

Like it or not, these "transitional" vehicles will be around for a long time, pure electric vehicles just aren't capable enough to suit everyone's needs.

@SDD525 giv em a decade

But only part of the time. I know plenty of people who use their truck/suv as their daily driver, but the whole reason that they bought it was because they want to be able to tow their boat to a lake that's 150 miles away, or their RV trailer (caravan in the UK?) halfway across the country, or their motorcycles to a stunt show on the other side of the country (1,000 miles away). BEVs just don't have those capabilities yet.

BUT ev's are capable enough for 99%

Yes, so in the same price you got 18 miles electric range What is the range of tesla of the same price)? More

And all of that is irrelevant. If you are in the market for a Range Rover, or other larger off roader, this is a tremendous step in the right direction. Mocking it hurts everything about the EV craze. Do you believe if this does well, they won't go further down the EV rabbit hole? Personally, I would rather drive a RR hybrid with all the toys and trinkets, the comfort and "status" over a Model 3. I think everyone shouting that this is not a "fully charged" vehicle, and "it's just 13 miles on charge" needs to embrace the direction, and ask for more.

@@fdmjiv youre totally wrong

@@carholic-sz3qv Solid rebuttal, great debate. You truly represented your side of the argument with dignity and eloquence. Thumbs up to you, you cunning linguist!

@@fdmjiv those cars are totally different and I'm not even sure about the fuel consumption on the rover when the batteries are empty we need to test that how is 3l/100 when you're travelling on highway with that massive car!!!!!!

Nobody will bother using it anyway, so it doesn't matter. As long as you get your tax reduction... ;)

Exactly! Don’t fancy smacking my head off one of those.

Choose that option then. Get what you want.

Is that really going to happen? Is it because of that EPA shit?

Wait, what? Why?

Miroslav Milan - The US tax credit is by manufacture selling 200k and then it drops off, Tesla has hit this number already in the US. not sure about Chevy.

Guess why Robert decided not to drive. =)

I bet you couldn’t..

The wade across the lake would electrocute you, your leaf and all the other poor creatures in the lake LOL

@@markjennings2315 Oh dear.... I hope you're joking.

How many EV owners got electrocuted so far? None.

Matthew Burroughs Matthew Burroughs You should see the Bollinger B1 some Americans succeeded in making fully electric car that can actually go off-road.

Range Rovers used to be extremely utilitarian, no fripperies like leather seats and plush interior. They had to work in mud rain and cow poo all day, now they are mostly driven by idiots in the cities who think off roading is driving up a kerb. B1 looks cool, a tool to do a job and nothing more.

I’ve seen them on the pavement outside Harrods !

Everything about it. You should take one on a test drive.

Jérôme Lévesque-Boucher funny, I always forget that non British people must also watch this channel

I'm from Quebec, Canada. Brits car channels are, by far, the bests around.

They have done better it’s called The I PACE. they are making them as fast as they can.

@@Mrianmarshall (Not very fast......)

they could do better, but they don't want to yet. Ipace is just a test how market will react. this RR is compliance car.

The platform isn't designed for it. The next generation will go fully electric, but we won't see it until 2020. Also, please don't get too excited about this hybrid. It still faces the same issues all heavy vehicles with small petrol engine/hybrid engines do - they don't work according to specs as they are just too small. There is no replacement for displacement when it comes to power and low fuel consumption. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b8d_Zdl0xM-xhH0.html Car manufacturers can trick people to get small displacement engines but as soon as you ask for power, the fuel consumption will spike. I owned an L405 RR V8 S/C 510hp, which averaged 16.8 l/100km during my two years of ownership. Last year I rented the Volvo XC90 D5, 235hp for a month and averaged 11.5 l/100km. The engine is less than half the size in power and displacement, yet the fuel consumption is far greater than half of the RR. The RR will be an epic vehicle when it’s fully electric. Pretty much unbeatable. And yes, the Jaguar is pretty cool. Just too small. :)

compliance car

@@andreas.abrahamsson Agree. Drove the IPACE recently. The salesman, after a chat, agreed that the PHEVs are useless for going any distance, and the IPACE isn't really an SUV. He said I should run a diesel Discovery 4 for a few years and then go full EV. I agree.

The wonders of editing. :-)
