Land Rover Conversion Kits
OEM-Quality, Tesla-Powered Land Rover EV Conversion Kits Built in the UK
Convert your classic Land Rover to electric with a fully engineered Land Rover electric conversion kit designed for reliability, performance, and straightforward installation.
Electric Car Converts builds complete Defender and classic Land Rover EV kits using proven Tesla components and advanced control systems. Every kit is engineered, tested, and assembled in the UK, then shipped worldwide to owners, restorers, and specialist workshops.
Unlike basic EV conversion parts, our kits are complete systems designed specifically for classic Land Rover chassis. The result is a bolt-in electric drivetrain that transforms your vehicle into a modern, fully electric Land Rover while retaining the character of the original vehicle.
What Is Included in Our Kits
Every kit is supplied as a complete drivetrain package. Including:
- Tesla electric drive unit (Model 3)
- Fellten battery pack system with fully integrated control systems and battery management
- Defender platform-specific bolt-in motor and battery subframes
- Pre-built wiring looms
- Cooling system components
- Charging hardware and connectors
- Mounting brackets and hardware
- Installation manual and documentation
- Remote technical support from our engineers
All components are designed to integrate with classic Land Rover chassis layouts, ensuring reliable fitment and balanced weight distribution.
Bolt In. Plug In. Drive Electric.
Our Land Rover kits are designed to install with minimal modification.
Each system includes the same Tesla-based electric drivetrain used in our in-house vehicle builds. The kit mounts directly to the chassis using purpose-built subframes and brackets, with pre-configured wiring looms and cooling systems.
No cutting or welding is required. Once installed, your Land Rover benefits from silent electric power, instant torque, and dramatically reduced maintenance.
All systems use Tesla Model 3 units, managed by Fellten control systems for safety, reliability, and full vehicle integration.

FAQs
Can I buy a kit and fit it myself?
Yes. We offer complete kits shipped worldwide. However, specialist tools and technical expertise are required for installation, so most customers prefer professional fitting.
How long will my battery take to charge?
Charging speed depends on the charger type. With a rapid charger you typically get 70kW speeds, full charge times vary with battery size.
Will it still handle like a Land Rover?
Yes, performance is maintained or enhanced with instant torque and modern handling dynamics tailored to Land Rover specs.
Are these conversions legal in the UK?
Yes. Converted vehicles must be re-registered with the DVLA, insured as EVs and pass MOT criteria for converted vehicles.
Can I keep my classic interior and gauges?
Yes. You can retain original aesthetics with integrated EV gauges or modern displays based on preference.
Is running an EV cheaper than a petrol/diesel Land Rover?
Typically yes. Running costs are usually lower due to cheaper electricity costs per mile vs fossil fuel.
How long does an EV motor last?
EV motors have fewer moving parts and can last 15–20 years with proper use.
Can I choose battery size and range?
Yes. You can choose between standard and long-range battery configurations with different range outputs.
