GOING ELECTRIC WITH DEFENDER

ELECTRIC HYBRID (PHEV)

Our electric hybrid Defender uses a battery powered electric motor with a petrol engine. It can be charged at home or using a wide network of public chargers and can be driven in either fully electric EV mode or Hybrid mode.

MILD HYBRID (MHEV)

Our mild hybrid Defender’s petrol and diesel engines work in harmony with an electric motor. Regenerative braking captures and converts the energy generated when slowing down and braking to optimise battery range without the need to plug in.

AT HOME AND ON THE GO

Charge from the comfort of your home with a domestic plug socket or a home charger. As easy as plugging in your phone, this is the most convenient and often cheapest way to charge. While travelling, you benefit from the rapidly-growing public charging network and rapid DC charging.
