Thread: Electric Series Land Rover producer ?

Nope, never heard of them. Sounds like a pretty slick conversion - would like to have a look.

I have seen it before,, I think FB from memory, but didn't look into it at all. On board charging system would be a big plus as far as 4x4ing goes.
I'm guessing Dons looked into all of this, and probably knows of these guys and what they are doing.

On board charging - isn't that just an engine...?

Onboard Charging just means there is a battery charger on board,
So you can plug it into a power point ,

Most electric cars will have one .

Alternative is a external DC CHAdeMo Charger that feeds direct into the battery .

Our camper trailer has on board charging.

OK,, so you can have a real look see for yourself if you want. They are about to start building it from what I can see. They are looking for crowd funding, and you can already book for the future spring/summer in 2019.

Must say, I'm thinking they're pretty optimistic in going to have it going, tested etc,, done and dusted by spring. I'm sure Don you'll have a better idea of timelines to put this thing together, let alone have it ready for business/rental in only a few short months.

However, on the upside,, I could use some parts

I believe the crowd funding is complete & they achieved their goal , Not sure it was crowd funding as in donations, but more pre booking payments as such.

They certainly have had a great marketing campaign as I receive newsfeed items on it from all over the world.

It took me about 3 months to do mine, mostly waiting for the next part to arrive. I pretty much documented my entire conversion online so that anyone else doing one will have a better idea of how it all goes together. I expect it shouldn't take any longer than 100 hours esp if they have a VASS engineer on hand to consult & sign off . I'll be most interested in how they fit in the Tesla modules, They are a bit long to go in the place previously occupied by a 10 gallon Series fuel tank.

So Don, in respect to charging, is it not possible to recharge as you drive anyway?
I get that they will all have a charger in them that they can just plug into the wall, that makes perfect sense as I doubt every stop has the specific charging point they need, but, I was under the impression these could be self charging to a certain degree as well as an option. Sorry, but I know little about that side of things.
