    Bargain compared to what your classic Defender will be worth when the 'new Defender' comes out Mick

    ...either that or our diesel Defenders will immediately be worth nothing in the EV age!

    Luckily with the Defender family unique ladder rail chassis technology, you can slide in any new technology, holden red motor, V8, ford diesel, and EV, open source technology, nil redundency Goodnight Diesel. ...Land Rover get your EV skates on!
    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.

    That’s what I’m banking on. ...though the motor on each wheel version might be difficult to retrofit?

    Do you mind elaborating a bit on this topic? Enjoying the read.

    I would commend posters to read this reference from an electrification expert on what he sees as the future for EVs hybrids etc. Now it is on the WUWT site but before your shout unclean sceptic etc , take the time to read what he says. As they say keep an open mind.

    Vehicle Electrification Common Sense | Watts Up With That?

    There is a follow up article further up the list which explores the latest innovations regarding EVs.

    This is part of it, from an earlier post:

    "Also, I'd wondered why range extenders were so efficient:

    "As an REEV is only propelled by the electric motor it can do away with the weight and cost associated with the gearbox transmission system typically used in internal combustion engine cars. Further, as the range extender does not need to increase or decrease output in line with the power needs of the vehicle (this task is handled by the electric motor) the range extender can be sized to satisfy the vehicle's average power requirement rather than its peak power requirement (such as when accelerating). The range extender can also operate much closer to its most efficient rotational speed. These design features allow an REEV to convert fossil fuel energy to electric power and vehicle motion very efficiently."
