Land Rovers are wonderful, but terrible. They can be difficult to operate, they’re loud and they’re some of the most inefficient vehicles on the road.
Conversion to an electric drivetrain transforms them. It removes all the mechanical complexity, increases the capability but leaves all the charm. A 4WD that’ll get you out into the bush (or around town) using renewable energy.
Either bring your own Land Rover or we can source one. Older vehicles require more restoration but have more personality (and design flexibility). Newer vehicles can be equiped with more powerful electric drivetrains.

materiality
Every touchpoint refined. It’s still a classic Land Rover with visible bolts, rivets and clamps, but each element has been upgraded to improve safety, strength and feel.
material highlights include:
Stainless steel badging
CNC machined controls
Australian leather upholstery
Nickel plated front grille
Polyurethane coated chassis
A place where craftsmanship & UTILITY CONVERGE
SERIES 2A wITH CUSTOM INTERIOR
WORLDWIDE DEVELOPMENT
Built around a 55kWh or 110kWh battery pack, Jaunt’s Land Rover system has been developed collaboratively across the UK and Australia. Bringing together the world’s best electric vehicle conversion engineering, design and calibration.
FRONT BATTERY PACK AND HV JUNCTION
HIGH VOLTAGE CONTACTORS & FUSES
Integrating battery management, high voltage pre-charge circuit, contactor control, service disconnect fuse, multiple auxiliary outputs and CCS charge control all with custom buss bars for an almost unbelievably compact 55kWh of energy.

SPECIFICATIONS
Land Rovers from 1958 - 2015 look very similar and share a huge number of body panels. However there’s some key mechanical differences. In particular, the transition to coil springs in 1985 brought a redesigned chassis and much improved handling. This allows us to install much more powerful EV systems.

HOW IT WAS MEANT TO BE
We’re not trying to replicate an agricultural driving experience, we’re improving it. Keeping the styling and ‘feel’ of the original car, but making changes that take away the hard work, carbon emissions and headaches.
A VEHICLE THAT BELONGS
Land Rover’s helped build our major infrastructure, they fought bushfires, they worked on farms, they deployed around the globe and they brought aid to remote communities.
They’re a part of the landscape and we remanufacture them into an electric vehicle that belongs.
We don’t just make the Land Rovers go faster, we improve every aspect of the vehicle, upgrading braking, steering, suspension and handling. While also reducing noise, vibration and harshness.

A TIMELESS CLASSIC, BUILT JUST FOR YOU
THE MODERN(ISH) CONVENIENCES
We inspect every vehicle prior to conversion to assess items that need repair or service. Included as standard are upgrades to the brakes, power steering and HVAC.

A FULL CHARGE
Unlike modern EVs, Land Rover Series and Defenders are not the most aerodynamic vehicles, and like any car above 80km/h battery range will be significantly effected.
Electric vehicles perform amazingly in stop start traffic and off road. Along with regenerative braking, comparatively excellent range is achievable. As standard Jaunt Land Rovers includes a 6.6kW single phase AC on board charger and a CCS2 DC fast charge socket.
