I still think the fuel cells will be the real game changer for us. Would not mind putting kit from the W15 kit into a Disco. The range would make it more than workable. Loved the towing capacity as that seem the weak link in all EVs at present.

So who's planning to convert their Defender to be an EV? ...I reckon within 5 years the whole country will be networked with fast chargers and all new domestic vehicles will be electric, with diesel being phased out much faster than we think.
