Land Rover EV conversions

Why convert your Land Rover?

A Series Land Rover or Defender is not just transport. It is utility, adventure, heritage and character in one unmistakable shape. A Relik EV conversion keeps the toughness and presence, then adds quiet torque, modern reliability and a cleaner future.

Keep the character

Your Series Land Rover or Defender still looks and feels like the icon it has always been. We preserve the stance, simplicity and presence while transforming the drivetrain beneath it.

Heritage preserved, drive transformed

Instant electric torque

Electric power suits a Land Rover beautifully. Smooth, immediate torque makes low-speed driving, hills, lanes and town use feel calmer, more controlled and more confidence inspiring.

Effortless pull without the old fuss

Built for real use

Whether it is a coastal daily, estate vehicle, weekend adventure build or restored collector Defender, we shape the battery, motor and charging setup around how you actually want to use it.

Specified around your life and vehicle

Future-proof the legend

A conversion helps keep your Land Rover usable, relevant and loved for years to come. It becomes quieter, cleaner and easier to live with, without losing the reason you wanted one.

A cleaner next chapter for an icon

Questions

Classic EV conversion FAQs

A bespoke electric conversion is a serious commission. These answers cover the essentials, from cost and build time to range, value and how much of the original classic character is preserved.

A conversion replaces the combustion engine with an electric motor and battery system. We carefully preserve the car's original aesthetic and mechanical feel while integrating modern EV hardware, including custom battery fitment, motor installation, controllers and supporting systems for seamless operation.

In many cases, a carefully executed electric conversion can make a classic more desirable and more practical for modern use, especially as emissions rules continue to tighten. Where possible, we design conversions with preservation in mind, giving owners flexibility and protecting the character of the car.

Build time depends on the vehicle, specification, restoration work and current workshop schedule. As a guide, a full conversion typically takes around 2 to 6 months. We provide a realistic timeline before work begins and keep you updated along the way at every stage.

Range and performance depend on the battery, motor and vehicle package. Most builds can achieve around 100 to 200 miles per charge, with instant torque and stronger drivability than the original engine. Our aim is to improve usability while respecting the spirit of the classic.

Yes. Our conversions are designed to retain the classic charm of the car, with minimal visual changes wherever possible. We respect the unique character of each model and work carefully so the upgrades feel integrated, refined and appropriate to the vehicle.

Costs vary depending on the vehicle, battery size, motor choice, restoration requirements and level of finish. Most bespoke Relik EV conversions start from around £30,000 and can increase depending on specification. We provide a tailored quote after discussing your car and goals.

Electric classics are generally easier to maintain than petrol classics because there are fewer moving parts, no oil changes and no exhaust system to manage. We still recommend periodic checks for the battery, charging system and electrical components.

Yes. We offer different motor and battery options depending on the car, your range goals, performance expectations and budget. Whether you want maximum range, stronger performance or a balanced road-focused build, we help you choose the right components.
