Eldrivna Range Rover på ökentest

Förra gången vi skrev om Land Rovers kommande helt eldrivna Range Rover var när den var ute på vintertester. Nu har en prototyp av bilen gjort det motsatta - ökentester. Det hela skedde i Förenade Arabemiraten och tempen nådde plus 50 grader vid flera tillfällen."A hot climate is one of the most challenging for any battery electric vehicle, because of the need to cool the cabin and optimise battery performance at the same time. The additional challenge of driving on sand requires controlled low?speed torque, so our specially developed traction control and thermal management systems work in harmony to ensure power delivery is unaffected. Our tests have shown that in this climate, repeatedly driving the equivalent of 100 metres uphill on fine sand, Range Rover Electric matches the performance of its ICE equivalents; in some instances, even surpassing them – thanks to the introduction of these new features."Exakt när bilen kommer att presenteras berättar man inte än, utan bara att den kommer gå att reservera någon gång nästa år.
