Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has taken a significant step in its electric vehicle (EV) journey with a further £500 million investment in its Halewood plant, located in Merseyside, UK. This ambitious move reflects JLR’s commitment to future-proof its production capabilities as the automotive world continues its shift toward electric mobility.
A Bold Investment in an Electric Future
In 2023, JLR announced plans to roll out its first emission-free model from the Halewood plant in early 2025. Now, with this additional investment, the company has targeted a production start later in the year. With a focus on building mid-sized vehicles, likely under the Range Rover brand, this transformation promises exciting opportunities for electric car enthusiasts and potential lessees looking to upgrade to luxury EVs.
As JLR gears up to become an electric-only vehicle manufacturer by 2030, its ReImagine programme is not just a rebranding effort but a total overhaul of its production and design ethos. For DreamLease customers, this presents an incredible opportunity to be at the forefront of the luxury EV revolution.

Why This Matters for Leasing with DreamLease
The Halewood transformation reinforces the growing demand for electric vehicles globally, and DreamLease is poised to offer these cutting-edge vehicles at the forefront of luxury leasing options. With JLR's commitment to producing EVs that maintain the same level of luxury and performance, our clients can look forward to leasing vehicles that combine the prestige of the Range Rover and Discovery Sport with the sustainability of an electric future.
Whether it’s the smooth ride of a Range Rover Evoque or the adventure-readiness of a Discovery Sport, the upcoming electric models from JLR will provide DreamLease customers with zero-emission alternatives that don’t compromise on luxury or performance.
High-Tech Production for High-Quality EVs
To support the shift to EVs, JLR’s Halewood plant is undergoing extensive modernisation. Over £250 million has already been spent expanding the production floor space, with an additional £500 million allocated for new technology. This includes the use of 750 autonomous robots and cutting-edge laser alignment technology for precision in vehicle assembly. These technological upgrades will help ensure that JLR's electric vehicles meet the highest standards of luxury and innovation.
For DreamLease customers, this is fantastic news. Not only will future JLR EVs boast state-of-the-art technology, but the increased production capacity at Halewood means that there will be more availability and options to lease these vehicles in the near future.
The Global Challenge of the Electric Revolution
The automotive industry’s transition to electric hasn’t been without challenges. Global climate targets have demanded rapid change, but issues such as high costs, range anxiety, and insufficient public charging infrastructure continue to deter some consumers. Despite these hurdles, JLR's commitment to electric vehicles remains steadfast. As demand for EVs grows and governments push for cleaner alternatives, JLR’s investment in electric production comes at the perfect time to meet future demand.
At DreamLease, we recognise the importance of offering leasing options that cater to this growing interest in EVs. As public infrastructure improves and the cost of EV ownership declines, we expect an increasing number of our customers to explore leasing luxury EVs like those produced by JLR.
A Leasing Experience Tailored for the Future
As JLR continues to innovate, DreamLease remains committed to offering flexible and affordable leasing options that put you behind the wheel of the most advanced vehicles on the market. With JLR’s electric Range Rover and Discovery Sport, models expected to roll out from Halewood by the end of 2025, DreamLease customers will soon have access to some of the finest electric vehicles available.
In addition to our traditional leasing options, we will be rolling out special leasing packages for electric vehicles that reflect the lower maintenance costs and favourable tax incentives associated with EVs. By leasing through DreamLease, you'll enjoy the benefits of driving an all-electric JLR model, without the long-term commitment of ownership.
