Great use of space, flexibility, makes a 101 looks aerodynamic
Certainly thinking outside the EV box
The emphasis seems to be a snow ready EV general utility , which may have merit in USA & Europe
By all means get a Defender. If you get a good one, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

Certainly interesting start ..
The day will come that our current fuels either won't be available or wont be economically viable..... so it's good to see someone exploring alternatives that should work outside a city....

Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most
2015 TDV6 D4.... the latest project... Llams, Traxide, Icom 455, Tuffant Kimberleys and Mofos.... so far.
2012 SDV6 SE D4 with some stuff... gone...
2003 D2a TD5...gone...
2000 D2 V8...gone...

I really like it. I'd have one if the price was right. 350km range is spot on. As soon as they develop tech for quick charge or charge on the run (solar?), diesel and petrol will go the way of the dinosaurs.
Battery tech like discussed here (Future batteries, coming soon: Charge in seconds, last months and power over the air - Pocket-lint) will also potentially change things up a bit. I cant wait.

why would it need a snorkel ?Originally Posted by Tim_AM

my point was a simple mod to a 'normal' motor, (a snorkel), enables pretty decent wading depths,
With the electronics/motors in the floor, you wouldn't want to get it too wet!

Very interesting link, there.
I must say, I like the graphine car batteries:
Obviously the best part ain't happening.Graphene car batteries
Graphene batteries are the future. One company has developed a new battery, called Grabat, that could offer electric cars a driving range of up to 500 miles on a charge.
Graphenano, the company behind the development, says the batteries can be charged to full in just a few minutes. It can charge and discharge 33 times faster than lithium ion. Discharge is also crucial for things like cars that want vast amounts of power in order to pull away quickly.
The capacity of the 2.3V Grabat is huge with around 1000 Wh/kg which compares to lithium ion's current 180 Wh/kg. The best part of all this is that these batteries should be ready to go by mid way through 2016.
Very Very Lucky!
I would love to have a battery for mine. San my 2 tanks of fuel and engine I think I could almost end up lighter.
If the range was 600km or better I think we all would look at it. Suspect the comments about not needing a snorkel are on the money. Chatted with a Tesla model x salesman re wading depth and his claims of 4wd. Wading was not a problem.
An all-electric car with graphene-based battery to be unveiled at the 2017 Geneva Auto Show | Graphene-Info might give a 2017 for the Graphene batteries. Graphene batteries: introduction and market status | Graphene-Info
Range quotes for anything when put off road go to hell. Sub 10l per 100km sinks a lot often of road. B1 might need a B2 with a new battery tech
