Chugging along in a petrol-gobbling town tractor needn’t get you in Greenpeace’s bad books any more, thanks to Liberty Electric Cars’ all-new electric Range Rover.
Sure, you’ll need a second mortgage to afford its £95,000 price tag, but as aftermarket electric power conversions go, it’s an impressive achievement.
Liberty reckons its re-worked Range Rover has a range of 200 miles on a single charge, and claims its performance on par with the standard petrol or diesel versions.
There’s even the option to fit an on-board generator, creating more electricity on the move, although since you’d have to put petrol in to make that happen, it defeats the purpose of an eco car.
