From Electric Classic Cars.

We have a new electric Land Rover Defender to have fun in. This one is converted to electric using our new electric game-viewer conversion kit, ideal for the perfect safari.

Electric safari vehicles are so much better that diesel ones as the last thing you need while enjoying the peaceful serenity of the savannah in Africa is the noise, vibrations and pollution of a diesel.

Although we’ve been converting Land Rovers to electric for 10 years now, our standard conversion kit is overkill for the requirements of a game-viewer in Africa. The average game drive is 30-40km so there’s no need for a large 110kWh battery pack, so a 40 or 60 kWh battery pack options are ideal, which would give up to 100km and 150km range in the bush respectively. As the drives are at very low speeds there’s also no need for our usual high power motors. We’ve also kept the lock-diff feature of the Land Rover as nearly all driving will be done in harsh off-road conditions. Charging requirements are also totally different in the bush. There’s no need for CCS rapid charging as the lodges either have limited electrical capacity, with some even being powered from solar and battery storage. Therefore slower AC charging is sufficient.

Our new game-viewer electric conversion kit is designed to be, simple, rugged, low cost and easy to install, but how easy??? Can it be installed in one day, one afternoon, or less………

There’s only one way to find out.
