Truly all singing all dancing, this Defender is as good as it gets for off-grid camping. It’s running the 110kWh Fellten battery pack system, which is the 2nd biggest EV battery pack on UK roads. It’s (very) loving owner uses it daily as his only car, he goes around town in it, but also does countless off-road miles through the vast landscapes of mid-England. The top pops all the way up as a bedroom, a kitchen pulls out the back, an awning out the side and they even run their high-voltage air-conditioning in the night!

Drivetrain:
- A Tesla Model 3 motor is longitudinally mounted in the gearbox tunnel, sending drive to front and rear differentials which maintains constant four-wheel drive. These motors are up to 280 horsepower and eliminate the need for an original gearbox or transfer box.
- The Tesla motor is completely rebuilt with new internal gear sets, bearings and oil, a new limited slip differential, output shafts and an Ingenext control system.
- Although unavailable new, using the Tesla Model 3 motor gives us complete confidence in reliability and engineering design from the leading OEM electric vehicle manufacturer. We no longer use the Tesla Model S motor due to far inferior efficiency and reliability, as well as being a far older design.
- The control system is built by Ingenext in Canada and allows for connection to a mobile app to adjust power modes and throttle sensitivity.
Battery Pack:
- 110kWh of brand new S-Volt batteries are mounted in the vehicle, 55kWh under the bonnet and 55kWh under the front seats, these are manufactured by Fellten in Bristol, UK.
- Fellten are clear market leaders in EV battery pack technology. They produce high numbers of OEM quality battery systems which are shipped worldwide and conform to various regional regulations and standards.
- By utilising the Fellten Universal Battery Pack we can offer a very high quality, robust battery system backed by a 3-year manufacturer warranty, this would be very complex to produce in-house. More information is available on their website.
- Batteries run at 400 volts, are water cooled and monitored using state of the art battery management systems and safety software, built into the battery box and managed solely by the Fellten software team.
Charging:
- Charging is possible from any EV charge point, as well as from a 3-pin plug at home, both Type 2 (Europe) and Type 1 (USA) sockets are available.
- Super fast DC charging allows for a 1 hour 20 minute full charge, with a 0-80% time of around 45 minutes. This is only available from CCS public charge points such as those at service stations and petrol stations.
- Standard AC charging allows for an 16 hour full charge, these chargers can be installed at home or are often found in car-parks or on lamp posts.
Further Information:
- A high voltage air-conditioning system has been installed, this is controlled by original interior switches and blows either hot or cold air through the original cabin vents.
- Steering as standard has been upgraded to electric hydraulic power steering.
- Gauges have been swapped for custom made dials, showing speed, current, temperature, and state of charge.
