We show the prices here so you don’t have to request by email first like others do. And not only for Land Rovers, but for all brands …
Governments & NGOs & Army below there is a special for you to read.
PRICES
Prices listed are for all types of 4×4 cars, because we make an universal electric conversion set. We will ship these sets in strong boxes all over the world and your local shop can do the convertion work for you. More on this at the last page Contact & Dealers.
ELECTRIC AXELS
One set includes two e-axels, but excluding batteries.
€ 34.500
Set is including controller(s), TFT control screen, interface ABS, manual handbrake, electric power steering pump, cruise control and all high voltage wiring included.
NOTE: Because we make our e-motor in small quantities, the price per set is relatively high (34,5K). After all, if we were to build 100,000 of them, the unit price is low (then we can offer the whole set under 9K). However, the important thing is that our engine provides a huge savings in construction time and therefore money. That saves you in total costs. We are therefore very price and performance winner.
BATTERY PACKS
€ 5.000 up to € 19.500
One battery box start at € 5.000 containing 21 kWu, every extra box you add € 5.000. Max 4 boxes at € 19.500 giving a total of 85 kWu. We call this the long range package. (5 or more boxes we investigate)
(1 box range 100km/60miles, so 4 boxes 400km/250miles)
You could ask your garage or shop what they charge for the conversion. Basic is 3 days of disassembly and 2 days of installing our convertion set. Often you want additional things change or renovate on your off road car. This amount is added to our set price, but paid locally.
Charging
Is 9 minutes for every 100km/60miles range today. We do bi-directional charging, your truck connect to your home. That is interesting to be able to use your car as a house battery as well. That shortens the payback period on investment by about 25%. Households will become less and less dependent on the state grid. Because more small power plants at home.
We run at 600 Volts backbone for a better efficiently. High voltage gives low amperage and therefore less loss by heat in the cables and less radiation for safety. We can also operate at lower voltages, but then power decreases. The backbone is prepared for hydrogen storage tanks in the furture. Pre-heated batteries in the car when charging at home and all battery boxes are interchangeable. A battery cannot stand the cold very well, then less power comes out and you cannot drive as far.
All prices excluding taxes and transport (from Den Helder, Netherlands, Europe).
RDW/TÜV inclusive
Your now converted 4×4 car will be registered as an EV after the inspection. This is included in the sale. USA/Canada please ask, we sell do-it-yourself sets there. We have an USA/Canada dealer. EV = electric vehicle.
RANGE and CONSUMPTION
85 kWu batteries (long-range set) giving a range (distance) of at least 400km (250miles WLTP). Consumption 21 to 24 kWu per 100km/60miles (WLTP).
During braking, current returns back to the battery (32% measured effectively). So driving in the city gives more range. Funny no? The maximum speed is limited at 115km/72miles to reach this range. Up to 160km/100miles is possible, but then the range drops by at least 40%, the extra power comes from somewhere (battery). That is also because of the streamline of a square bungalow and the size of a 4×4 trucks or cars.
SPECIFICATIONS
94Kw total (2 axels x 47kW) up to 120Kw in the furture (2x 60Kw). Maximum of 2,900 revolutions (RPM) per minute.
Torque total 580/1.682 Nm. (Hi/Low) It is hard to imagine the higher torque compared to a fuel engine (double), instinctively the car accelerates as if 280 horsepower has gone under “the bonnet” overnight. (205kW)
Towing is possible (3.500kg). Your range will go down approx 25%. You can take your horse or sailboat with you. You cross rivers as before, all robust and watertight built.
SRM
We briefly tipped it off again and again. We designed and built the electric engine ourselves, we could not find it on the market. No engine could deliver our requirements. Our SRM (Switched Reluctance Motor) is an electric motor that runs by reluctance torque. Unlike common brushed DC motor types, or AC, or synchronous reluctance or intern permanent magnet motor or axial flux motors. These are in a different family and have nothing in common basicly.
Major SRM-difference is the power is delivered to windings in the stator rather than the rotor. It doesn’t need revs (=revolutions) to make power. Inside the electric motor are 2 other mechanical parts, a Torsen (differential) and a SmeshGear (selectable high/low gear). These 3 different parts are in the center of the shaft, indicated in the drawing below by the yellow circle with the red line around it. We use patents for this. We don’t tell here how we excactly designed it. We give a very simple outline:
NOTE: We show a Land Rover 90 here, but we do all 4×4 brands.
Last pic: RED are the two electric axels, YELLOW are the four (heated-) strong battery boxes. In the middle drawing, you can see that we build the SRM motor in the middle of an axle. With this, the original suspension, brakes, shock absorbers can be placed back on the new electric axle, built by us and delivered to you. We hope that it has now become clear, how unique product we make and independent of a supplier we are.
Below drawing, it becomes clear why we only later discovered that our e-motor (yellow part) can also be built differently into all 4×4 cars, existing and new ones now entering the market, but still having a polluting engine.
The upper drawing is our electro motor in a rigid axle, the middle one is the same electro motor, but now attached to the chassis and driving the wheels with separate drive shafts, like all modern 4×4 cars today. The lower drawing is our electro motor, with the differential and the high and low gears also hidden in the body. The secret of our designers.
Both track width and drive axles is technically simple. In both cases the shock absorbers, axle linkage, brakes, abs rims and tires can just be put back in.
We can therefore easily change all and any 4×4 car to a full electric vehicle EV.
Should you wonder why we make our own electric motor, since there are already so many designs and manufacturers? The graph below will give you an idea of the various types, each with its own user area. Our usuable motor that makes low rpm (2,800rpm) and gives off a lot of power (580/1.682 Nm) and is small in size and weight, does not exist. Except for the SRM we choosed, which we have developed further, along with a differential and high/low inside the same housing for good off-road driving. What the 4×4 was originally intended for as well. Because of the 2,800rpm max, we no longer need gearboxes. Almost all electric motors above in the graph, rev way too much for the 4×4 big wheels.
Look for our SR motor in the diagram, which lists many totally different electromotors :
HEATING and COOLING
€ 2.850 for a basic heat/cool/vent kit in the car (based on a heat pump technology). If the fuel engine is gone, we will also have no hot water to heat you. We designed this unit in the most efficient way. (in a seperate box in front of your car, in the space where your old engine was). So including airconditioning as extra for free, but this set is not always needed.
GOVERNMENT & NGO SPECIAL
You almost cannot escape the fact that a government has to be the green example for citizens. The biggest boost to rapid growth of green 4×4 trucks is changing the government way of acting. How nice that will be? Change the new truck buying policy in governments. We take an active role in getting this done.
People don’t realise that “Governments” are a collection of human people. You are breathing the same polluted air and you are participating in global warming. Your grandchildren will have to deal with pollution to. Consider this.
By way of example: do you know that there are still hundreds new Toyota Landcruisers for sale? There is a large stock of these. You can already buy a new truck like this for € 28,500 with a dirty euro 2 diesel in it and 0 kilometres driven. New, never sold. Old stock.
So if you convert those ones with us, you will have a brandnew electric Landcruiser. Years ahead of Toyota itself and with e-Rovers warranty. We calculate an example: truck 28.5K + axels 34.5K + long range batteries 19K =
€ 82.000 including the NEW Toyota Landcruiser 400km/250miles range.
If you order 10 trucks or more, the price drop to 76K. If you want the 100km/60miles short range, the prices drop to € 62.000. The photo below is taken in the Netherlands. But all over europe garages/parkinglots are full of them, all new, not used. France, Gibraltar, Italy…..
The company e-Rovers combines innovation with environmental awareness through their self-developed universal electric axle(s), which integrates perfectly into existing powertrains of off road vehicles, not only Land Rovers.
When we engage in conversation with governments, the following conversation always happens:
First excuse to our question to government: “why NOT going electric”, the answer is: the brand (OEM) does not yet deliver an 4×4 EV. (is correct, this can take another 1o years, because too small marked to spend develolopment money, all OEM money goes to normal cars only. OEM = Original Equipment Manufacturer.
Second excuse: governments can only lease a truck. And there are “no electric 4×4 terrain cars yet, so we can’t do anything. We buy fuel/diesel trucks again and again. Sorry, have a nice day”. The answer al the time.
Governments can change their minds, people can change their minds. Contact us for your pilot converting project, financially helped by several government green programs. Try it and email. Start the project.
May be not expensive for you, because: lower prices due large series, may be no tax for governments, such as NGO’s, United Nations, welfare, rescue (beach-) services, state forestry, nature workers, real estates, great green water or solar projects. Why not give it a try?
Remember that continuing to drive on fuel is more expensive in time than start driving electric. Electric driving has a return on investment, fuel driving never ever … Fine PR for your organisation, huge green PR !
A good example leads the way.
These pickups, hundreds or them, we can convert to clean electric driving.
It’s a choice.
We will run a pilot for these old-stock-new Toyota’s. Euro 3 to EV. We might be able to start our own factory for these in the future, because there is a lot of interest in it and this conversion is not just doable for your local garage. But these are future dreams at the moment. Converting 250 Toyota Landcruisers (new-old-stock) to 100% electric per year is a different activity than making e-axles to ship around the world to your local garage. First be able to deliver the set worldwide to start.
Electric cars are cheaper to use do you know?
According to a study, the total costs of ownership TCO for an electric car is 75% (2/3rd) lower than a diesel truck for someone who drives through an Oslo toll station twice daily. (quote feb 2024 evchargeplus.com) More and more cities are adopting this: only clean cars in the city where so many people live.
“Battery electric powertrains are expected to be the most cost-effective
technology for most truck classes before 2030. For medium- and light-duty urban
trucks, battery electric powertrains are already at TCO parity with their diesel
counterparts”. quote: theicct.org © november-2023
TCO = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_cost_of_ownership
HYBRID
We supply a Plug-in-Hybrid set for your 4×4, based on a superclean EcoEnGines 32kW bio-diesel genset, a small 1.3 and clean range-extender (or a 1.4 petrol genset). You drive 100% electric, but if your battery gets low, the genset starts and you drive your 4×4 truck to Rome, and back. Other range extenders to be examined. (lpg/gpl/methanol), you do not have the benefit of BEV (battery electric vehicle) is clear. Every hybrid e-Rover, is a silent genset in your army base. Ask.
Direct Current more efficient, why?
DC better then AC explained here
In a world switching to renewable energy, alternating current AC is no longer always the obvious standard. So much electricity is lost in transmission through high-voltage pylons that DC power is more economically attractive today. If you use DC for all kinds of electronics, appliances last longer and use less power. So that is less of a burden on the congested power grid. Even better, direct current requires less heavy cables and less copper, saving costs. Electric car batteries charge faster with direct current, especially if the charging stations are also powered by direct current from solar panels. Then hours suddenly become minutes. Fast chargers therefore always run on DC. Moreover, with direct current, electric cars can charge bi-directionally and feed power back to the grid as driving batteries. Furthermore, direct current can help reduce the rising power consumption of AI and data centers. The solar panels and batteries that provide the power for this run on DC, as do the servers in the data centers. Using direct current saves a lot of energy and saves energy and heat loss.
WE ARE FREE OF ANY PARTICULAR BRAND OF 4X4
OUR ELECTRIC AXELS, AND ELECTRIC MOTORS ON SHAFTS, CAN CHANGE ANY 4X4 CAR OR TRUCK TO 100% ELECTRIC.
CHANGE THE DRIVE, NOT THE CAR, IS OUR SLOGAN.
WE MADE AN UNIVERSAL SET, WE ONLY CHANGE THE TRACK WIDTH AND THE ATTACHMENT POINTS OF THE LINKAGE, SHOCK ABSORBERS AND BRAKES. THAT IS ALL.
The big Steyr Unimog Benz we convert also to electric. For this, we are using the larger and heavier 155Kw engine. That development is almost complete.
Offroad, truck, SUV, 4×4, allroad car:
Whats in a name. We indicate that we keep the description offroad to avoid confusion. Often car, SUV or truck is also used. But officially such a car is called a MPPV, a Multi-Purpose Passenger Vehicle, see badge below:
