Land Rover has released a video of prototypes of the battery-powered Range Rover being tested for heat and deep sand in the UAE deserts. Since the future electric car is captured without camouflage, the video gives an idea of its design: there will not be many differences from the fuel-powered Range Rover.
It is claimed that the battery-powered SUV is undergoing the most intensive set of tests in the history of the model. In the UAE, for example, the electric car‘s temperature control systems are being tested – the climate control system and the battery cooling circuit, which must maintain an optimal temperature at an ambient temperature of 50 degrees.
In addition, sand dunes allow you to study and adjust the operation of the traction control system, which is responsible for transmitting torque to the wheels. Land Rover representatives said that driving on fine sand demonstrated the superiority of the Range Rover Electric over fuel-powered analogues in some respects. It is noted, for example, that the electronics reaction time required for changes in traction force has been reduced from 100 milliseconds to just one.
