EV development study / extreme range concept
An ambitious development study for a classic Range Rover 6x6 EV intended to attempt an extreme UK range record. The concept explored five VW battery packs in parallel, lightweighting work and control strategies for safely managing multiple large EV packs.
Discuss a related projectProject introduction
Create an extreme-range electric vehicle capable of driving from the top of Scotland to Land’s End and setting a new benchmark for EV range.
Explore the feasibility of an ultra-range EV conversion using a classic Range Rover 6x6 platform, including weight reduction, battery packaging and the control strategy required for using five VW battery packs in parallel.
Engineering challenge
System architecture
Engineering & integration
Commissioning & result
The project stopped before the full electrification stage, so it should be presented as a development study rather than a completed conversion. Even so, it was valuable because it pushed the thinking around parallel battery systems, safe control logic and the practical limits of extreme EV range projects.
For similar programmes
This project is useful for clients considering unusual battery architectures, parallel packs or extreme-range specialist vehicles. It shows the importance of control strategy before fabrication begins, especially when connecting multiple large EV battery packs together.
