Land Rovers Defenders and Series

Over the years, we have undertaken the construction of a wide variety of Land Rovers, ensuring that each one is unique in its own right. Our primary focus has been on Defenders and later Series Land Rovers, with Series 3 models being especially prominent in our portfolio. While our services cater to private clients, the majority of our projects have been commissioned by commercial customers. Most of these builds have centred on the 110 model, though we have also worked on several 90s.

Powertrain and Drivetrain

Our Land Rover conversions utilise either 150 kW or 120 kW electric motors. These motors are paired with a reduction box, typically set to a three-to-one ratio, although a two-to-one ratio can be fitted depending on anticipated usage and driving cycles. The reduction box is connected to the original transfer box, which retains important features such as the differential lock and the high/low ratio options that are highly valued by Land Rover enthusiasts.

Battery System and Range

Usually, each converted vehicle is equipped with three liquid-cooled battery packs. The total battery capacity can range from approximately 40 kWh to 90 kWh. Due to the inherent energy consumption of Land Rovers, efficiency is typically around 2 miles per kWh. Therefore, depending on the battery size, the driving range can vary from roughly 90 to 180 miles.

Charging Capabilities

Our electric Land Rovers come with a 6.6 kW onboard charger and are also equipped with CCS rapid charging capability. This enables a charging time of around 45 minutes, making it convenient for users who require quick turnaround times.

Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) Feature

One of the standout features of our Land Rover conversions is Vehicle-to-Load (V2L). This system provides a 240 Volt, 5 kW power supply onboard, allowing users to power appliances such as fridges, tools, or, as in the case of one of our customers, advertising screens mounted on the vehicle. This feature is particularly beneficial for off-grid situations, whether camping, working on remote sites, or even providing emergency charging support to other electric vehicles.

Customer Use Case

To illustrate the practical benefits of these features, consider how one of our customers is leveraging V2L to enhance their business operations.​ See what ElectricVintage are doing with their AdRovers
