An electric Land Rover Series IIa was shipped to the US following the conversion carried out by Everrati. The model was completely hand-built, restored, and re-powered with an advanced powertrain that grants it 150 horsepower (152 metric horsepower) and 221 pound-feet (300 Newton-meters) of torque.

These parameters can be delivered to either the rear axle or to both, depending on the driving mode the one behind the wheel needs and which of them the ride surface requires. A lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 60 kWh stores enough energy for the electric Land Rover to drive as far as 150 miles (241 kilometers).

Regenerative braking and AC and DC fast charging capabilities are on the menu. The powertrain is designed and built by Everrati at its headquarters in Upper Heyford, Oxfordshire, England.

And it is not just engineering that Everrati did. The team also worked on the vehicle’s looks. The model wears limestone paintwork and features a canvas roof. Passengers will take their seats on the benches mounted in a face-to-face layout, while the driver will control the Land Rover with the help of a wooden steering wheel.

Everrati handed over the EV in the so-called “Disneyland of Polo” at the prestigious Grand Champions Polo Club, in Wellington, Florida. Craig is the owner of the classic.

He also owns a corporate and equestrian law practice and is a car, design, architecture, and fashion enthusiast. He is also passionate about protecting the environment. So this is how he contacted Everrati and asked them to convert his classic off-roader, which rolled off the production line in 1971.

The result impressed him down to the very last bolt, and he described the vehicle as “a work of art” in design and engineering. Craig, the first-ever Everrati-made Land Rover Series IIa owner to set wheels on American soil, will be commuting to the office in his electric Land Rover or driving to polo fields across the country.

Justin Lunny, CEO of Everrati, calls it a “monumental occasion,” which marks the brand’s global growth. He claims that the electric classic Land Rover encapsulates the brand’s mission and commitment to preserving the legacy of iconic vehicles while making them sustainable and without altering their DNA.

The classic Land Rover joins another Everrati-made model: the first-ever electric Porsche 911 (964) delivered in the United States. The Porsche arrived in America last year.
