    Made in Scotland : Munro 4x4 EV

    I like this a lot . Not quite a Bollinger but I'll have the plaid upgrade please.

    (Funny how people with no off road experience react when 'greenlaning' )

    I actually quite like it. The 84 approaches scale is staggering, and I like the straight panel, utilitarian look. Like that air suspension is available, but I think the range is probs fine for somewhere like Scotland but about 1/3 of what it should be for Australia. But then again, you can fit a shirt load of solar panels in the cargo area Made in Scotland  :  Munro 4x4 EV

    The regen braking comment was interesting. I use the brake 90% less in my EV than my Disco due to the regenerative braking.

    Had not thought of that in a 4wd sense before watching this.

    Thanks for Posting Going Bush

    The regen off road is an absolute game changer.

    i fitted a potentiometer on my Landy to adjust the regen level to control descent speed, No need to touch brake whatsoever even on the very steepest descent , can then press accelerator to hurry the decent a little then on a long slope can readjust to maintain a nice decent speed. Whilst at the same time charging battery.

    Here is a little demo video I did a few years ago , You can see I'm not on the brakes as the rear wheel starts going backwards when it loses traction.

    I like it, reminds me of the RRC at the front and a Defender at the back.

    Yes, exactly the same thought.
