Local Charging Time & Cost Table

Understanding the financial and practical reality of owning an electrified Land Rover is essential. Using South Carolina’s precise average residential electricity rates, we outline exactly how long it takes and how much it costs to charge a Range Rover PHEV in Greenville.

How long does it take and what does it cost to charge a Range Rover PHEV?

In South Carolina, it costs approximately $5.15 to $5.50 to fully charge a Range Rover PHEV from home (based on the state average rate of ~16.15¢ per kWh). Charging from 0 to 100% takes about 5 hours using a Level 2 (240V) home charger, or roughly 40 to 60 minutes (0-80%) using a 50kW public DC Fast Charger.

Range Rover PHEV (38.2 kWh Battery) Charging Matrix

The data below reflects the 38.2 kWh battery (approx. 31.8 kWh usable capacity) found in the latest Range Rover and Range Rover Sport PHEV models. Cost estimates are calculated using the 2026 South Carolina average residential rate of 16.15¢ per kilowatt-hour.

Charging Method Hardware Example Time (0 – 100%) Est. Cost (SC Average)
Level 1 AC (120V) Standard 3-prong household outlet ~15+ hours ~$5.15
Level 2 AC (240V / 7kW) Dedicated home wallbox / Dryer outlet ~5 hours ~$5.15
DC Fast Charge (50kW) Public stations (ChargePoint, Electrify America) ~40 – 60 mins (0-80%) Varies significantly by network provider

Understanding Greenville Energy Rates vs. Gasoline

To truly understand the value of a PHEV, you must compare the cost of electricity to the cost of premium gasoline. South Carolina enjoys electricity rates that are historically 10-15% below the national average.

The Gasoline Comparison

A full electric charge provides roughly 50+ miles of driving for about $5.15. To drive that same 50 miles on gasoline in a large luxury SUV getting 20 MPG, you would need 2.5 gallons of premium fuel. If premium is $4.00 per gallon, that trip costs $10.00 on gas—nearly double the cost of charging.

Duke Energy Off-Peak Rates

You can lower your charging costs even further. Many local utility providers, including Duke Energy, offer Time-of-Use (TOU) rates. By programming your Range Rover to only charge during off-peak hours (typically overnight), your cost per kWh drops significantly.

Charging Installation Support in Upstate SC

Buying the vehicle is only half the process; setting up your home infrastructure is just as important. The team at Land Rover Greenville helps you navigate the charging transition effortlessly.

We can advise you on the necessary electrical requirements for a Level 2 wallbox in your garage, helping you achieve that optimal 5-hour charge time. We also ensure you understand how to use the Pivi Pro system to locate public DC fast chargers when you are traveling beyond the Upstate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a PHEV charge itself while driving?
Yes. Range Rover PHEV models utilize regenerative braking, which captures kinetic energy during deceleration and feeds it back into the battery. While it won’t fully recharge an empty battery, it significantly extends your electric range in stop-and-go Greenville traffic.
Is it safe to charge outside in the rain?
Absolutely. Land Rover charging cables and the vehicle’s charge port are fully weatherproofed and designed for safe operation in heavy rain or snow.
Do I have to plug in a PHEV to drive it?
No. If you forget to plug it in or are on a long road trip without charger access, the vehicle simply operates as a traditional, highly efficient hybrid using its combustion engine.
Can I use Tesla Superchargers?
Currently, Range Rover PHEV models use the standard J1772 plug for Level 2 and CCS for DC Fast Charging. However, as the industry standardizes on the North American Charging Standard (NACS), future integration and adapters will expand compatibility.
