Inverted Series Land Rovers brings EV power to classic 4×4
British EV conversion specialist Inversion has added Series Land Rovers to its range of electrified classic cars.
The Leicestershire-based firm now offers fully-electric versions of the iconic Land Rover Series I, II, and III alongside its electrified Range Rover Classics and Toyota Land Cruisers.
The new models combine the instantly recognisable look of the famous 4×4 with Inverted’s custom-build electric powertrains and customers can work with the firm to create a bespoke vehicle to their exact specifications.
Under the skin, the Inverted Series Land Rovers use a 62kWh battery pack split across the front and rear of the vehicle for better weight distribution and traction. A single 160bhp motor delivers its power and 664lb ft of torque directly to the original transfer box. This has been retained in order to provide the same off-road capability for which the Land Rover is famous. It means the electrified Series Land Rovers maintain their high/low ratio transmissions and a locking differential for particularly tough terrain.
Three drive modes range from a off-road setting to the balance ‘Traffic’ setting and an Eco mode to maximise range.
Inverted say the battery should provide up to 120 miles of real-world driving and 60kW DC charging allows a 20-80% top up in around 40 minutes.
“Series Land Rovers are beautiful, iconic machines,” says Harry Millington, founder of Inverted. “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.”
To offer an easier driving experience all Inverted Series Land Rovers also feature electric power steering and servo-assisted brakes.
As well as announcing its new Series Land Rover range, Inverted has launched an EV conversion kit for the newer Land Rover Defender. Using the same powertrain as Inverted’s Range Rover Classic, the Defender kit provides permanent four-wheel drive with 300bhp or 450bhp motor options and an 82kWh heated and cooled battery pack.
While Inverted focuses on electrifying Solihull’s heritage vehicles, Land Rover recently released new images of its all-electric Range Rover undergoing winter testing ahead of a launch in late 2025/early 2026.
