At JLR, the transition to electrification is integral to our Reimagine strategy. But our transformation extends beyond our vehicles; it encompasses a culture shift, continuous training and meticulous detail to ensure we are curating the ultimate electric experience for our clients.

"We’re essentially the voice of the client. If a client wants to charge in 20 minutes, my role is to convert their wants and needs into actionable SI units (International System of Units) to allow that to happen, such as measurement time, temperature, voltage, current and power. We’re continuously considering what the client wants and working as a team to make our clients’ experiences easy and seamless. 

“When you're charging, the car is stationary, but you charge in the most personal place to you ‑ your home. So, you have to almost imagine what it’s like living there. What's my electricity supply? What's my fuse box rated to? There are so many variables we must consider in order to curate the optimum home charging experiences for individual market needs."

"I've been working on EV charging since 2012, originally as a research engineer and then on the cabling side. All our plug‑in hybrids right now are driving around with my component. Then I went into power electronics component design development, validation testing and delivery, before working on the electromechanical connections and devices design of the new Range Rover Electric.”

Kalpana added: “We have to be nimble and innovative. But our main focus is always that we offer our clients the best charging experience, regardless of where they are in the world.”
