Like red phone boxes, the Supermarine Spitfire and Jaguar E-Type; The series Land Rover is an timeless icon of British engineering. They are as much a part of our culture as cups of tea, Sunday roasts and David Attenborough.
One of the reasons the Land Rover has attained this coveted position is its sheer adaptability. Each generation of Land Rover owners has sought to leverage new technology to improve their pride and joy. Either by installing different engines, automatic gearboxes, parabolic suspension springs or even simply adjustable seats. Subsequent owners have then gone and put their own twist on the changes! Conversions have always been a part of the Land Rover story: this is just a new twist on an old tale.
So, where does electricity fit in? Generally Land Rover conversions have typically fallen into one of 3 main categories:
Either
- Performance – faster, better, stronger
- Efficiency – reduced cost of ownership
or
- Quality of Life – ease of use
An electric conversion addresses all three of these at the same time….and more!
Our aim is the same as those who drove these trucks before us: – to leverage the benefits of new technology to provide fundamental yet improvements to the vehicle, yet keeping the essence and character of each vehicle
- Performance – increased power, top speed & acceleration to keep up easily with modern traffic
- Efficiency – almost zero maintenance for the drivetrain, full charge for less than the cost of a pint*
- Quality of Life - reduction in noise levels, single pedal driving*, less driver fatigue. Massively enhanced reliability and dependability
- Sustainability – every conversion utilises upcycled and thoroughly tested OEM batteries and electronics that would otherwise be subject to needless and energy intensive industrial recycling processes, whilst still leaving 40-50% of the core material to landfill.
We believe the series Land Rover has earned its right to remain on our roads as we head to a carbon-free future. A Cotswold Electroworks conversion will keep your Land Rover rolling for many years to come!
