Thread: Land Rover Defender PHEV

renowned capability and “exceptional” all-terrain adventures

Or you could just take your Series Landrover bush.

It seems to be getting heavier and more expensive…..

I wonder what sort of fuel economy it gets once the battery runs flat?

Probably a lot worse than a current model D300.
So unless you are just using it for the short run to work,or school or shopping run,there is probably no point in having one.

Well, how many would you expect to see off road? Unless you were on a green lane in Wales. Not sure I'd want to wade one.

One of the Adventurer Lifestyle Commando Packs comes with a net for catching the electrocuted fish. Has a solar powered frier too, I think.

I wonder if it will be easy to get the car fridge to run off the big battery?

And maybe an induction hot plate,and the camping lights?

Hmm,probably not being an LR,they always seem to over complicate everything.

I guess you could always add a 400v-12v dc-dc converter.

With the Ford Ranger PHEV they are planning to add 240v AC outlets as well - so JLR would be smart to offer the same.

Or, you could be in convoy with a diesel Evoke. No need to collect firewood either.....
