History

Historical Context

Tesla’s 2008 Roadster, the first serial-production EV to use lithium-ion cells and exceed a 200-mile EPA range, showed that electric power could match gasoline supercars. Building on that breakthrough, Jaguar Land Rover announced the Range Rover GT with an 800-volt, over-100 kWh pack and a claimed 700 km range, pushing luxury EVs toward mainstream adoption.
