British EV conversion specialist Inversion has expanded its electrified classic car lineup to include Series Land Rovers.
The Leicestershire-based company now offers electric versions of the Land Rover Series I, II, and III alongside its existing Range Rover Classic and Toyota Land Cruiser conversions.
These new models maintain the iconic look of the famous 4×4 while incorporating Inversion’s custom-built electric powertrains. Customers can collaborate with the firm to create vehicles tailored to their specifications.
The converted Series Land Rovers feature a 62kWh battery pack distributed between the front and rear for improved weight balance and traction. A single 160bhp electric motor delivers 664lb ft of torque directly to the original transfer box.
Inversion retained the transfer box to preserve the Land Rover’s renowned off-road capability. This means the electrified vehicles keep their high/low ratio transmissions and locking differential for challenging terrain.
The vehicles offer three driving modes – an off-road setting, a balanced “Traffic” mode, and an Eco option to maximize range.
According to Inversion, the battery provides up to 120 miles of real-world driving range. 60kW DC charging allows a 20-80% recharge in about 40 minutes.
“Series Land Rovers are beautiful, iconic machines,” says Harry Millington, Inversion’s founder. “But let’s face it, not everyone wants to wrestle with a choke on a cold morning or breathe in exhaust fumes that waft through the car. Our electrified versions preserve everything people love about these classics while making them more fun, more reliable, and infinitely more usable.”
All Inversion Series Land Rovers come equipped with electric power steering and servo-assisted brakes for easier driving.
The company has also launched an EV conversion kit for the newer Land Rover Defender. This kit uses the same powertrain as Inversion’s Range Rover Classic conversions, delivering permanent four-wheel drive with either 300bhp or 450bhp motor options and an 82kWh heated and cooled battery pack.
While Inversion focuses on electrifying Land Rover’s heritage models, Land Rover recently released new images of its all-electric Range Rover undergoing winter testing. The manufacturer’s first electric Range Rover is scheduled for launch in late 2025 or early 2026.
