There's an electric Range Rover on sale (or soon to be, at least) with a claimed range of 200 miles that sounds very useful. It does cost about £200k though

It will last 8 hours and apparently goes like fook. So Ideal for those that have a short distance or 8 hour return to base sort of thing. So ideal for the 'game journey' and perhaps the odd farmer in the UK. Think about it... spend the day out around the farm, park up in the barn, plug it into the mains, it charges overnight and hey ho full and ready to go the next day. 130's have feeling's as well you know

I'm sure Simon at X-Eng built a working electric Freelander a few years back ...

Cool... Just had a look at his website, but can't immediately see anything about it there.
It would be interesting to find out how much of the transmission he retained. |
