*EPIC* 450hp Tesla Powered 'Spectre' Defender - Driven up a Mountain !
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Once again I am in Wales with my mate, and Vintage Voltage co-star, Moggy from Electric Classic Cars. This time with his most recent conversion, the simply epic Tesla Powered Land Rover Defender SVX Spectre Edition.
With 450hp and a 100kw battery pack this vehicle is the ultimate electric off-roader. It will drive over anything in its path as well as dispatching 0-60mph in about 5 seconds !
Moggy and I decide to drive to a nearby wind farm at the top of a rather large Welsh mountain.

The smiles and laughter said it all. What an amazing creation! The engineering quality is sublime. And the engineering innovation is just off the scale. It could literally pull tree stumps out. 👏🏻👏🏻 Would like to see more of the build process for another of Moggy’s Land Rover or Range Rover conversions, if there is any possibility of that in a future video, please (pretty please!) Ped? All the best from up here on the Wirral.
I was worried our ears were gonna be in for a hard time at the beginning but it all came good once you got into the car. Very expensive but then so are Aston Martins etc. This conversion looks like fantastic fun!
Great video up there with your best, Hats off to Moggy and his team for brilliant engineering.

Fantastic machine and the drivers are not bad too!!! It just shows you the way forward is electric, science fiction films of the past showed the future this way. You and Moggy had a brilliant time with the “Beast” . Mountain rescue vehicles could utilise this and perhaps get nearer for their rescuing purposes, make enough of them and cost should drop.

Well, at least I know where my Tesla P85 will be going when it finally dies. I used to properly off road before going to electric power (200tdi discovery, stripped, jacked up, air lockers front and rear, snorkel, caged and winched. Went through water so deep that I had to stretch up to keep my head above water :) Lot of fun. This is the ultimate solution

Water and electric motors don't usually go well together but I imagine this bloke could come up with a barrier for the motor/wiring when encountering deep water crossings etc.. Love the tech but out of my price range. If you could tack the electric motor onto a Patrol/landcruiser without extra 'beefing up" it may be economical.
though I enjoy the TV program and the work you do THIS WAS A FANTASTIC VIDEO and shows enjoying fun with great easy to follow technical details , Cant wait for next video STAY SAFE and keep on posting.
That is the best build that I have seen this year, as your friend said he didn't like Land Rovers even though he grew up with them, never thought that I would say "that is a Land Rover that I would like to own".

Great rig guys, could you do this as a dual or triple motor version to extend the range between charges? That way it would be the ultimate overlander, especially if you can recharge it with solar while travelling.

Evening all. Love this right from the off.
nice, that would go nicely in my old 109!
Good work on the EV conversion and interior but the off roading was pretty tame especially considering the limited slip diffs. The descents looked a bit "runaway", steeper longer descents over rougher ground would be more interesting to see if the regen braking controls the descent speed in comparison to a low range gearbox. What about deep water and mud!
@PetrolPed

The camera made it look much more tame than it was but ultimately this is a customer vehicle under final shake down testing. Deep water not a problem. Totally sealed drive train so I’m theory it could drive under water 😬

@@PetrolPed With all the torque and HP on tap, do you need to program a special off road throttle ramp up? I mean to allow for say more throttle/pedal movement at speed less then x mph? If you ever driven a twitchy hi powered ebike/motorcycle maybe this makes more sense.
@samurai4x483
2 жыл бұрын
It won't handle larger rocks/logs due to axle strenght. Heavy duty Defender axle shafts and gearsets (ashcrofts) will break easily with half the power and smaller tyres. With the instant torque of the electric engine at any rpm, the defender axle wouldn't last. Defenders work great with low gearing, big tyres and low power. As soon as you start tuning the engine, things go sideways. That's why there are soo many running nissan patrol axles. Also, you don't have to worry about an Internal combustion engine defender stalling, if it's built right. If the gearing is correct, it won't stall in 1st gear low range.
This is an awesome off-road monster, but just to keep things in perspective, I have to say, growing up in the country in rural Canada, I took my Toyota Corolla hatchback offroad on terrain as rough and as steep as this, every weekend in summers for bush parties. I'd still love a Land Rover electric conversion, but that's more a matter of taste and style than anything else. The only difference is the Land Rover can carry far more cargo and it won't get stuck in the mud as easily.

Much better moving these monsters without local emissions equivalent to a train of the 1900s But I say that 99% of SUV buyers never ever "need" any off road capability (and many SUVs have none anyway). I live partially in the mountains in the North of the Czech Republic (other time in Prague) and people are not rich there. 95% drive Skoda Fabia etc right into the thick of it without probs. the other 5% have a Jimny. :) The big SUVs are more for people how want or need to show off esp when driving their kids to school 2km through Prague. You should see the row of huge expensive SUVs in front of schools in the morning not able to park properly thus blocking the street and releasing often sadly overweighed kids - who would benefit from walking or biking. 😂
this is amazing: what a London Traktor/chealsea truck :)

Fantastic video Pete and an awesome build Moggy. It made me think for a minute that it would be cool to convert my Puma Defender but then I remembered the significant cost, the poor range (not a great issue for a Landy I guess as we tend not to do long journeys in them), the terrible charging infrastructure and the fact that doing it purely for green reasons is a waste of time as the UK contributes so little to the worlds CO2 output (if we went zero tomorrow China and India would wipe out the saving in about 2 months just from their increasing output). Having said all that Moggy i wish you lots of success and hope your business continues to do well. If I win the Lottery I will buy another Landy and send it to you for a full refurb and EV conversion without hesitation. You are a great example of the British entrepreneur!! 😎😎😎
