*EPIC* 450hp Tesla Powered 'Spectre' Defender - Driven up a Mountain !
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- Once again I am in Wales with my mate, and Vintage Voltage co-star, Moggy from Electric Classic Cars. This time with his most recent conversion, the simply epic Tesla Powered Land Rover Defender SVX Spectre Edition.
With 450hp and a 100kw battery pack this vehicle is the ultimate electric off-roader. It will drive over anything in its path as well as dispatching 0-60mph in about 5 seconds !
Moggy and I decide to drive to a nearby wind farm at the top of a rather large Welsh mountain.

Please note this video was shot on private property and the land owners permission was given. In fact he is a good friend of Moggy 👍
Ta 🤣👌🏽
That's why you didn't shred....
you all prolly dont care but does someone know a method to get back into an Instagram account?
I was dumb lost my login password. I love any tricks you can give me!
@Ulises Saint Instablaster =)
Moggy and his crew are Wizards of Electrickery! Seriously bad-ass landy, love it!
They sure are 👍
Utterly brilliant - makes EV's look cool, never thought I'd say that!
So many shows feel so contrived, this is just 2 mates having a great laugh, awesome to watch.
This is cats whiskers, I’m off to do the lottery now! Hats off to Moggy and his team making form making the most incredible vehicle!
The smiles on your faces should sell this to anyone.
We had such a laugh 😜
I can’t get an R/C off roader out of my head with its sound. Awesome piece of kit with astounding scenery. Moggy is right on our level. Brilliant. I like the fact it’s on regen all the way back down.
It’s like a full size Tamiya 😂
@@PetrolPed defo Lol
Literally the first car I would rather have in electric than diesel or petrol. What an amazing thing!
I was worried our ears were gonna be in for a hard time at the beginning but it all came good once you got into the car.
Very expensive but then so are Aston Martins etc. This conversion looks like fantastic fun!
This is an awesome off-road monster, but just to keep things in perspective, I have to say, growing up in the country in rural Canada, I took my Toyota Corolla hatchback offroad on terrain as rough and as steep as this, every weekend in summers for bush parties. I'd still love a Land Rover electric conversion, but that's more a matter of taste and style than anything else. The only difference is the Land Rover can carry far more cargo and it won't get stuck in the mud as easily.
Much better moving these monsters without local emissions equivalent to a train of the 1900s
But I say that 99% of SUV buyers never ever "need" any off road capability (and many SUVs have none anyway). I live partially in the mountains in the North of the Czech Republic (other time in Prague) and people are not rich there. 95% drive Skoda Fabia etc right into the thick of it without probs. the other 5% have a Jimny. :)
The big SUVs are more for people how want or need to show off esp when driving their kids to school 2km through Prague. You should see the row of huge expensive SUVs in front of schools in the morning not able to park properly thus blocking the street and releasing often sadly overweighed kids - who would benefit from walking or biking. 😂
Epic just epic review! This has to be the baddest Land Rover on the planet! So cool 😎
Very badass 👍
That is the best build that I have seen this year, as your friend said he didn't like Land Rovers even though he grew up with them, never thought that I would say "that is a Land Rover that I would like to own".
I reckon it could turn anyone to want a Land Rover 😜
The vehicle is amazing but above all I loved your camaraderie. No testosterone BS, no one upmanship, just good content and a good friendship on display. 👍
Cheers 👍
So excited for the future of classic car EV conversions! It's going to be a mega industry over the next decade and for a long time after with ever advancing tech and efficiencies! 😍
And you won't be in the workshop all the time. This car would really do for me, at least as a weekender! Love the video and I can't wait to see you test Moggy's Defender when it's ready. Cheers
I will be as soon as it’s finished 👍
Fantastic machine and the drivers are not bad too!!! It just shows you the way forward is electric, science fiction films of the past showed the future this way. You and Moggy had a brilliant time with the “Beast” . Mountain rescue vehicles could utilise this and perhaps get nearer for their rescuing purposes, make enough of them and cost should drop. Pete, another really good video👍👍👍
Thanks John 👍
That was the slowest, yet coolest test drive ive ever seen. Very nice!..
Awesome 😎
If I had the money (oh and a licence) this would be the one and only for me. A brilliant piece of workmanship as ever from Moggy and crew.
Indeed 👍
That was a good one Ped. Cant hide genuine enthusiasm
Thanks Nigel 👍
The smiles and laughter said it all.
What an amazing creation! The engineering quality is sublime.
And the engineering innovation is just off the scale. It could literally pull tree stumps out. 👏🏻👏🏻
Would like to see more of the build process for another of Moggy’s Land Rover or Range Rover conversions, if there is any possibility of that in a future video, please (pretty please!) Ped?
All the best from up here on the Wirral.
Electric conversion, It's the way ahead! Quickly! great vid always good to see your mate Moggy.
Cheers Dan 👍
I love your vehicle but would really love to see you in Moab, Utah, USA. See what it can really do, compete with the Jeeps and custom vehicles known for the area.
Great rig guys, could you do this as a dual or triple motor version to extend the range between charges? That way it would be the ultimate overlander, especially if you can recharge it with solar while travelling.
On next week's Petrol Ped, Moggy will convert a Sherman tank to an EV...
😂😂😂
Absolutely brilliant to watch.. You both had so much fun. And he's such an amazing engineer..
WOW!!! what a fantastic beast, if i had the cash i would buy one without a blink of an eye.
If i ever win the lottery i will be banging on Moggy's door!
Great content as usual.
Cheers John 👍
The only classic worth being reborn. I hope landrovers will be around forever.
Expensive, but Moggy has a full order book so plenty of willing customers. One day they will come on the market 2nd or 3rd hand, can't wait.
Great video up there with your best, Hats off to Moggy and his team for brilliant engineering.
Thanks Dave 👍
My daughter would love an FJ45 with that Tesla conversion. Just got to find her the money! Great job Moggy!
Good work on the EV conversion and interior but the off roading was pretty tame especially considering the limited slip diffs. The descents looked a bit "runaway", steeper longer descents over rougher ground would be more interesting to see if the regen braking controls the descent speed in comparison to a low range gearbox. What about deep water and mud!
The camera made it look much more tame than it was but ultimately this is a customer vehicle under final shake down testing. Deep water not a problem. Totally sealed drive train so I’m theory it could drive under water 😬
E-way is the way all day! I'll pay my money to get that rig. Big ups to that team!
The frequency of this landrover repairs has been reduced XD
My Peugeot 4007 with its Grabber tyres can handle that terrain, but not that effortlessly. And it weighs a lot less. This is an amazing vehicle. Great fun.
Well I would say an improvement on the LR classic , but 90k on top of a good donor vehicle wow , 👍👍👍. I will start saving £££ now. See moggy in 3010 lol
Two guys havin a ball , perfect crawler
Moggy !!!!!!! Absolute legend ( Simple As ) 👍👍👍
Oh yes 🙌
Fantastic video Pete and an awesome build Moggy. It made me think for a minute that it would be cool to convert my Puma Defender but then I remembered the significant cost, the poor range (not a great issue for a Landy I guess as we tend not to do long journeys in them), the terrible charging infrastructure and the fact that doing it purely for green reasons is a waste of time as the UK contributes so little to the worlds CO2 output (if we went zero tomorrow China and India would wipe out the saving in about 2 months just from their increasing output). Having said all that Moggy i wish you lots of success and hope your business continues to do well. If I win the Lottery I will buy another Landy and send it to you for a full refurb and EV conversion without hesitation. You are a great example of the British entrepreneur!! 😎😎😎
Great build.. best use for electric conversion vehicles and stops the greenies holding all the cards in the pub complaining about this 4x4. Quiet and ‘green’ 👍
Exactly 😜
One of the best videos I've watched in ages! Wish electric classic cars all the success they can get. Can't help but wonder about converting my Series 1 to electric! Love it!
They are doing a Series 2 at the moment 👍
I hope one of those windmills has somewhere to plug in if you're running a bit low on charge !.
That would be brilliant 😂
I loved the vintage voltage programmes ,but that land rover is phenomenal , talk about sell your soul for something that's now top of the list.....
Cheers Jon. Great to hear you like VV 👍
That’s a great car,the cherry on top would be a drone that flies out of the front to check the land ahead.
You laugh but Audi has a concept design that does just that.
OMG you making my dream come thru I can wait to build an electric defender 🙏
Only thing missing, is a little power-demonstration ... but great video anyway
That looks AMAZING fun! What a car. If I had a defender and £75k burning hole in the pocket, I know exactly what I would do. Cheers for sharing Pete.
That is the minor problem 😜😂
I come to Petrol Ped for horribly clipped audio and I'm never disappointed.
I thought my headphones were broken. Really hard to listen to I’m afraid
Sorry guys. I had actually bought new mics to try and improve audio. First time using them and not quite on the right settings. I think they call it Sod’s law. At the end of the day I am a RUclipsr not a sound guy. Every day is a school day 😬
I couldn't hear the exhaust sounds either shocking 😂😂😂😂
What a great conversion, Moggy knows his stuff and it's such an obvious fit, heaps of instant torque and extremely controllable which is just what's needed for a real Defender.
Some folk might say that the price is a bit on the steep side for a 6+ year old Land Rover, but from what was shown in this video, the conversion is an overall custom package and it's almost a new vehicle.
Given that the "new Defender" that Land Rover have just put out starts at around £60k with all the extra running costs of fuel and maintenance it'll need and no character, looking like all the other ponies that Land Rover now produce, then this classic makes a lot more financial sense.
There are a couple of questions that didn't get broached in the video, battery consumption figures is one, it's ok when your back garden is the Welsh hills etc and you haven't got a fair drive to go and play.
Another one is water ingress into the electrics, how will it fair crossing a stream or river with the level up around the door bottoms, H2O and high voltage electrics don't make good bed-fellows as many a flooded Tesla owner will attest and Rich Rebuilds too.
Moggy said that his personal build was going to be fairly basic and lightweight but never elaborated whether that was for straight line speed or off road ability, I hope not the speed as from personal experience old "Landies" get quite jittery above certain MPH.
But overall great video, big grin and certainly a beast build.
A simple wide angle camera on the front would be a good addition to look over ridges.
Awesome, want one, just need a lottery win😂 Unbelievable traction with no effort, pity you couldn’t just plug into a wind turbine up on the top😂 Moggy’s engineering skills know no limits. 👍👍👍
Indeed 👍
Another one to add to my lottery shopping list 😁👍
Very cool 😎
Me too 😂
Hey Ped and Peddlers Hope all are well :)
Good thanks...you ?
Seemingly effortless!
"Let's off-road.....Bazz!"
What an amazing vehicle which is a tribute to Moggy and the guys, full respect 👌👌
Cheers Gareth 👍
The only thing that would improve this machine would be to make it twin motor, "motor on axle". It should climb even better then!
Hats off to Moggy and his team
Petrol Ped, that was seriously awesome. Thanks for bringing that to us.
Our pleasure 👍
Of course out of sheer self-preservation , I have to strongly object 😂❤
He' making an original JEEP...."Just Enough Essential Parts... !
That is the only electric car I would ever want. Love it.👍
Awesome 👏
A true test for it would be at gunshot Creek here in Australia
LOL!
All 3 metres of that 'epic descent'?!?
Seriously guys, thanks for acknowledging the elephant! Very cool video and I’m really loving this vehicle!
Harry Metcalfe, (Harry's Garage) owned the one of the Spectre Defenders, he even did a video on finding where his went.
Yep. I mention that in the video 👍
@@PetrolPed Sorry, I didn't get that far before commenting.
I soooo need this beast. What a creation!!
Damn it! Now I'm gonna have to sell a kidney 🤦♂️
😂😂😂
Kidneys are not that valuable anymore sorry. Already checked
What a machine, credit to Moggy and his team.Great video as well Pete, keep them coming.
Thanks Andy 👍
Please change this crappy headlights. I've had exactly the same and they are really cheap China shit and although they have a "E7" sign on them they are not really E7 compliant. The rest of the car is absolutely amazing, top work mate!!
👍
Wow what a fantastic land rover😁,why can't all electric cars be that good 😆
Good question 😜
As it uses Tesla gubbins can it use Tesla's charging network? Now that WOULD be a bonus. Brilliant vehicle - want one.
Simple answer to that. No, it’s not a Tesla even thought it uses a Tesla motor and battery pack. Also this particular conversion only does AC charging 👍
@@PetrolPed That means you can charge it pretty much anywhere else though? Right?
A great vehicle for negotiating our UK roads!
Oh yes 👍
So when do we see it going off road ?
The camera didn’t do just how steep and challenging that terrain was 😢
though I enjoy the TV program and the work you do THIS WAS A FANTASTIC VIDEO and shows enjoying fun with great easy to follow technical details , Cant wait for next video STAY SAFE and keep on posting.
Would this be ULEZ compliant and toll free in congestion area ?? Absolutely love it by the way this could be my forever car !!!
I need one of those. Awesome Landie. Another cracking video Ped👌🏻
Cheers Michael 👍
Great video, can it go through water, deep water?
Yep. As deep as you like as it doesn’t have to breath like an ICE engine 👍
Well I've never been a fan of Land Rovers/Defenders, I've always been of the opinion (excluding the latest and greatest version) that they are an aluminium shed on wheels and just a utility vehicle. I totally love the new version now it's been modernised, but OH my this electric version...wicked! It looks smart without being over cooked and trimmed to American over the top levels. Plus clearly its able to do, with consummate ease, what the original design was always meant to do. This video was entertaining/interesting and surely needs to have a follow up video of the vehicle off roading some more. A great watch and great vehicle.
Thanks. This is a customer car on final shakedown. We had to behave 😂
Are there many charging points in rural Wales?
Considering they are literally in the Wind Farm. Would not be difficult to tap a line of that system and put it into a 200kwh battery pack. Then DC Fast Charger to vehicles.
This would be charged off an industrial power supply on a farm or direct from a wind farm, likely never see a highway.
One of the best Defenders ever built in my estimation.
Yep 👍
@@PetrolPed would you guys ever do an intense EV swap on an old willys jeep or international scout? I know they arent british, but it would be cool!
I've been waiting for this
Congratulations Moggy whith this Tesla build you have succeeded in fixing the oil leak's on a land rover defender, well done. Keep up the good work !
Regards from South Africa...
Needed to send it
Seeeend it!
"lets go up there" now that's the freedom of a land rover...
Pedro, you must must must film Moggy’s lightweight 90 when it’s finished.
Oh I will 👍👍👍
Don't tell my boss but had to watch this ASAP so skiving off. Great Landy and top notch videoing Pete. Shame I'll have to wait many years before this conversion becomes affordable for me. Be good to see how Moggy packages the batteries in the 90 as that's what mine is.
Like your style bud 👍
When I get unfeasibly rich.... I’m bringing my Unimog for an upgrade.... I’m thinking 1000bhp dual Tesla should suffice.... 🙂🇬🇧
You mad lad.
Unimog doesn't need much power. A big Model 3 motor will be enough. You'll still go Anywhere with lots of range efficiency.
What a vehicle its an awesome bit of kit Moggy Electric Vehicles are definitely the future 👍
But try and make them more affordable please, for the average Joe !!!!
Really nice build. I was impressed by the off road driving, even if it was rather short. How does it handle larger rocks, logs and slow creeping? I mean no clutch , will it all be throttle control rather then clutch control?
Yep. All throttle control. The good this is you don’t need to worry about stalling it 👍
@@PetrolPed With all the torque and HP on tap, do you need to program a special off road throttle ramp up? I mean to allow for say more throttle/pedal movement at speed less then x mph? If you ever driven a twitchy hi powered ebike/motorcycle maybe this makes more sense.
It won't handle larger rocks/logs due to axle strenght.
Heavy duty Defender axle shafts and gearsets (ashcrofts) will break easily with half the power and smaller tyres.
With the instant torque of the electric engine at any rpm, the defender axle wouldn't last.
Defenders work great with low gearing, big tyres and low power. As soon as you start tuning the engine, things go sideways. That's why there are soo many running nissan patrol axles.
Also, you don't have to worry about an Internal combustion engine defender stalling, if it's built right. If the gearing is correct, it won't stall in 1st gear low range.
Moggy is a genius love the things you do with him👏👍🏼
Where are Land Rover themselves on this...come on, we want factory built versions.
Won’t be long 👍
yea with the landrover unreliability problems built in na stick with a moggy now where`s them loto tickets
This was soo fun. Moggy the Mad Scientist. Emphasis on the mad.
👍
Loved the Defender, but you haven’t made it clear that you’re driving on private ground and/or with land owners permission. Driving off the track, is generally not allowed and you should make that clear. Hope you don’t mind my comment.
Sorry we should have. We were on private land owned by Moggy’s best mate 👍
@@PetrolPed thanks Pete, much appreciated. We have a hard time with off-piste driving in the Peak District and I’m keen we keep as many of our lanes open as possible…👍 Wish we had such great spaces to explore.
Totally epic build........can’t wait for the Disco 3 kit from Moggy and crew! 😂
Nahh the lack of low range has made it too fast for safe descents. Awesome vehicle but not capable to navigate what I want.
The Electromotor actually has a far better "engine" brake then a diesel, as it's converting to a generator.
@@piotke it didn't appear that way. The footage of some of the descents looked too fast. In fairness that wasn't what the story was about and the vehicle may well have been capable on steep slippery inclines.
at first I wasn't convinced but once you started to drive and then uphill, I thought Yeah actually it's Good 🚙😁
Great vid but you need to sort your sound out!
Ironically I was using a brand new mic set up for the first time to try and do just that. Didn’t quite have the settings right. Also it was a very windy day which made things tricky 😬
Off roading in a 450 BHP Landi and its green! Whats not to like.
Exactly 👍
First!! Evening all! How’s everyone doing? F1 quali to tomorrow exciting.
Hi François 👋
😃
@@benhigginson9763 Evening!
Evening François
@@chrismurphy87 Hi there! 👋🏻
Love it ! Only thing missing is classic Defender engine sound option. 👂
It makes other cool sounds 😜👍
Seriously, who is ever going to miss the noise of a Defender diesel engine, not me that's for sure. 🤣😂🤣
Hi all, this might be good even if electric
Would go so far as to say it *is* good *because* it's electric
But what wading depth? Driver in the Defender can just have his nose out of water. Can the motor and batteries be under water.?
@@Yorkshiremadmick I'm sure if Moggy will have seen to that. They'll be well sealed.
Yes 👍
I theory this could drive under water 👍
