  "account": "Ars Technica received exclusive access to the 2027 Range Rover Electric, courtesy of a complimentary trip and lodging from Jaguar Land Rover. This visit allowed Ars Technica to tour the factory and behind-the-wheel the groundbreaking electric Range Rover. Although the electric vehicle industry has faced challenges due to factors like global health crises, logistical hurdles and market resistance, Jaguar Land Rover remains steadfast in its commitment to electrification. The debut of the Range Rover Electric marks a significant milestone in this transition.\n\nThe Range Rover Electric joins the lineup alongside the conventional combustion engine and plug-in hybrid models, offering a cleaner, more modern alternative. Historically, fully electric Range Rovers were only accessible through extensive restomod projects, which often come with substantial costs and compromises. The new electric variant provides a more affordable entry point at a starting price of $138,000. This price point represents a significant discount compared to the extensive restomod process, while still offering modern safety features and the backing of a reputable automaker.\n\nInitial interest in the 2027 Range Rover Electric is evident, with Jaguar Land Rover reporting 80,000 express reservations from North America alone. Astonishingly, half of these reservations come from individuals new to the brand, suggesting a significant opportunity to grow the brand's customer base.",
