EV Defender Conversion: Merging Classic Power with Electric Innovation

A classic Land Rover Defender stands for character, strength, and adventure. But what happens when you combine that timeless design with the quiet force and sustainability of electric power? The EV Defender conversion makes that vision a reality. At The Landrovers, we blend craftsmanship with innovation, transforming iconic Defenders into forward-thinking electric vehicles that look as bold as they drive.

 

Why make the switch to an electric Defender?

Electric driving is no longer reserved for compact city cars or futuristic sedans. More and more enthusiasts of classic, rugged vehicles are turning to electric conversions. The reasons are clear: zero emissions, less maintenance, instant torque, and unrestricted access to low-emission zones.

In our article on why more drivers are switching to an electric Defender, we explore the many benefits of electrifying your Defender and how it enhances both sustainability and driving pleasure.

What does an EV Defender conversion involve?

Converting a Defender from combustion to electric is far more than just swapping out the engine. It’s a meticulous engineering process where every component is carefully recalibrated for the electric drivetrain. At The Landrovers, we start by stripping the vehicle down to its core. From there, we rebuild it with a fully integrated electric powertrain that is both unique in the world and exceeds the performance of the original.

This includes not just replacing the engine, modifying the cooling system, updating the drivetrain, and installing advanced software. We also add regenerative braking, allowing energy to be recovered during deceleration. And what to think of torque vectoring, slip control, pitch control, toll control, jaw control. Even the placement of the battery pack is optimized to improve weight distribution and enhance off-road stability. But the absolute gamechanger is the implementation of the super powerfull 4 in-wheel Panterra electric motors
