All prices excluding taxes and transport (from Den Helder, Netherlands, Europe).
We deliver an universal electric conversion set, tailored for your 4×4, old or new. Not only for Land Rover Defender or Toyota’s Landcruiser. Because the most important component, the 3-in-1 electric motor, can be easily adapted to your vehicle, any off-road vehicle, in the new axle in the set(s) we produce.
ELECTRIC AXELS
e-Rovers convertion set = 2 electric-axels (front/rear)
€ 34.500
Including controller(s), TFT control screen, interface ABS (if needed), manual handbrake, electric power steering pump, cruise control and all high voltage wiring.
Note: our tailor-made e-set provides a huge saving in (swap-) labour time.
We ship the sets all over the world. Your local shop (garage) can do all the work for you in 3 days. More check page Contact & Dealers.
BATTERY PACKS
€ 6.000 up to € 18.000
One battery box € 6.000 containing 21 kWu, every other box add € 4.000. Max 4 boxes at € 18.000 so giving a total of 85 kWu. We call this the long range package. We made universal (and pre-heated) strong and watertight aluminium boxes that can be easily bold safely under your car. You simply choose how many boxes you need (based on your expected distance to travel: 1 box range is 100km/60miles, so 4 boxes 400km/250miles)
CHARGING
10 minutes for every 100km/60miles range. We do bi-directional charging: your truck connect to your home as (home-) battery.
Your (now converted electric 4×4) car will be registered as an EV after inspection. We arange this for you. USA/Canada we sell do-it-yourself sets. The US law(s) makes it easier to convert your own car. We have an USA/Canada dealer.
RANGE, SPEED and CONSUMPTION
The 85 kWu batteries (long-range set) giving a range (distance) of at least 400km (250miles WLTP). Consumption 21 to 24 kWu per 100km/60miles.
Note: during braking or slowing down, current returns back to the battery (32% return measured effectively). So driving in the city give you more range. Funny no? The maximum speed is limited at 115km/72miles to reach this range. Up to 160km/100miles is possible we can tune it up, but then the range drops 30% or more, extra speed is not free. The power comes from somewhere (battery). We do this limiter because the streamline (a big square bungalow) and the size of a 4×4 trucks generate a lot of air resistance.
e-SPECIFICATIONS
SRM electric drive. How we get the 3-in-1 electric drive into one unit (in the middle of an axle) is our secret. Let’s not give others any ideas.
94Kw total (2 axels x 47kW) up to 120Kw. Maximum of 2,900 revolutions (rpm) per minute. Gives a basic top speed of 115km/75miles. At low revs, no gears are needed—that’s the big secret. The e-Rovers SRM (Switched Reluctance Motor) is a DC electric motor. Check the link:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched_reluctance_motor
Torque total 580/1.682 Nm. (Hi/Low) It is hard to imagine the high torque compared to the original fuel lower engine torque. Instinctively the car feels as if 280 horsepower truck, more power has gone under “the bonnet” overnight. Power all over the place. We switch between high and low using a planetary system.
Towing max 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.
WEIGHT e-drive
Our SRM electric motor weighs 76 kg, an original differential weighs 36 kg. Our aluminum axle weighs 21 kg less (than iron one) that leaves 19 kg additional unsprung weight. This is ok, after all a tuft of wet mud also weighs something like that. A change to aluminum rims (instead of steel) we reduce this to +6 kg in total. You can simply keep your original shock absorbers, brakes and springs/airsuspention.
HEATING and COOLING
€ 3.850 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 to buy.
Electric mobility is the furture
The offroad cars that still need to be made, above, and below the cars that are still there. That is the growing market for e-rovers.
Like the 2025 orange fuel Toyota Pick Up above or the used white LR Defenders in Italy for the marble mines in Carrara below: re-use them electric.

HYBRID
Range Rover from 2005, V8 or diesel. You drive one including our EV set for 55K,
We even make a hybrid drive, with our 1.3 JTD biofuel generator or HVA fuel. With 150 km EV and then to Rome and back with a consumption of 1 in 16. This is possible thanks to the cooperation between the generator and batteries. The generator always runs at 2,500 rpm, making it very economical and low-polluting. After all, all the fuel is burned effectively. The loss of the 4-stroke remains, of course, but per kilometre driven, this is 30% less. A constant 32 kW of power is generated.
Under normal driving conditions, only 25 kW is required, and the batteries are fully charged while driving. This means you always have 10 kW “left over”. When the battery is full, the generator switches off, consumes no more fuel, and the car runs on electricity. With fewer batteries, you can travel approximately 100 km/60 miles, and with more batteries, approximately 250 km on electricity.
CHANGE THE DRIVE, NOT THE CAR
The big Steyr Unimog Benz we convert also to electric. For this, we are using the larger and heavier 155Kw e-engine. That development is almost complete.
