Everrati completes cold weather testing of electric Land Rover
Everrati Automotive has completed final winter testing of its first US commissioned Land Rover Series.
While the new vehicle will spend most of its life in a much more temperate area of North America, it has been fully signed-off by Everrati as part of an intensive cold weather programme in Vermont, New England.
The Land Rover Series IIA has a 60kWh battery and 150bhp and 300 Nm from its electric motors with regenerative braking and AC and DC fast charging. This gives a range of 150 miles with both two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive modes. The company now offers its Land Rover Series builds in both 88” and 109” wheelbase and multiple roof configurations.
Over recent months, the first US commissioned Series IIA has undergone validation of all components, with particular focus paid to the performance and reliability of its OEM-grade electric powertrain. The testing covered high altitudes and cold weather, such as snow and extreme low temperatures, to ensure high-voltage reliability and tested charging functionality. Alongside hot weather testing, the team has now validated the vehicle for all climates.
The Series IIA passed electric vehicle safety testing in 2022, achieving UN-ECE R100.01 at the Netherlands Vehicle Authority – RDW, the only electrified classic of its type to do so in the world.
Every Series IIA commission is first fully restored from the ground up, with Everrati then integrating its own e-powertrain that is designed and developed at its global headquarters in Upper Heyford, Oxfordshire, England.
“Everrati’s OEM-grade engineering, design, and quality processes continue to raise the bar in the electrified classic sector. The Land Rover Series, like all our models, represents the pinnacle of zero-emission icons and this latest example of our OEM-grade approach just underlines how we are going the extra mile in this rapidly growing market,” said Justin Lunny, Co-Founder and CEO of Everrati.
“Our redefined Land Rover Series IIA combines a complete restoration with the integration of our proprietary OEM-level electric powertrain, preserving the vehicle’s legacy and enabling it to be enjoyed by generations to come. I can’t wait for us to hand over this first US customer commission to its new owner, who can be sure they are receiving the ultimate in redefined icons.”
Everrati has developed electric versions of the Porsche 911 (964) Coupe, Targa, Cabriolet and RSR-inspired edition, G-Series based ST-inspired edition, Range Rover Classic, Land Rover Defender, Land Rover Series, GT40, and Mercedes-Benz W113 SL ‘Pagoda’.
