Here's a tour of our Land Rover electric conversion kit using Tesla motor and batteries. Yes, it can tow, yes it can wade through rivers and no it doesn't leave an oil puddle on your driveway.
With a 0-60mph of 3.5 seconds my Tesla powered Defender definitely gives the odd supercar and motorbike a surprise at the lights, and is still fantastic off road.
Below are our international partners than can build you an electric Landy. in the UK just contact us direct.

If you want more business in Australia you need to look at conversions for Toyota Hilux, LandCruiser 80 series, 100 series, 76 series and 79 series, as well as their Nissan Patrol counterparts. Those are the main 4WDs in Australia particularly in industry where the money for mass conversions is. Doing those models you also pick up most of the UAE as well.

Wow, super awesome video!! I always wondered how the best 4x4 in the world (yes, I'm a classic Land Rover fanatic!!) would be able to carry on in a future without fossil fuel, and here's the answer. Superlative solution - the future looks bright for the venerable Landy...!!!

That’s straight up, neat N tidy, proper 21st century progression in a box or three! 👍🏼😎👍🏼. The older Hummer market here in the US would be absolutely beggin for a kit like that… HUGE!

I would be more than happy to convert my Mercedes G. It’s a 290GTD (Type 461) with a separate transfer case like all G’s have. You are doing a impressive job btw 👍

I would love to see you develop kits for Jeep Wrangler TJs. I have a 1997 Jeep Wrangler, the first vehicle I purchased myself, that I keep in storage and pull out every so often to joy ride around in. If I could convert it to electric, I would use it as my daily driver again.

I started a conversion of a 99 Jeep Wrangler couple months ago, it is not done yet, but we are on our way 😊 I share everything on my KZbin channel Electrified Veronika. We might start working on a conversion kit once there is more demand for it. It is a fun thing to do, lot's of learnings on the way!

Unfortunately I see most of that population not having the money to make the conversion kit worth developing. This conversion kit is not cheap, so selling it to people driving around Jeeps not even worth the cost of this conversion kit wouldn't make much sense for the company. Now, if they could make it work on all Wranglers then maybe. But, even then that's a population driving around relatively cheap cars compared to say a Defender, Porsche, or some of these other higher-dollar vehicles they've converted

A Nissan Patrol Y60 and Y61 kit would be an amazing kit to have. Those axles are top of the industry, they only lack on the engine side, so this type of upgrade would be quite a step up, as they are very popular in Australia and middle east, but also some parts of Europe.

A SWB old school Patrol is something I lust after but probably will never get the chance to own…..for me it would have to be done in the Arab style like they race up the sand dunes….and I can’t think of a way to have a turbo hanging out of the bonnet with an electric conversion.
