Here’s a classic car electric conversion that ironically brings the original Range Rover in to the EV fold before the 2024 modern-dayarrives this summer. It’s called the Inverted Range Rover Classic and we’ve driven prototype #001 developed by a new start-up seeking a foothold in the burgeoning e-classics scene.
Software allows three different drive modes: Eco, Sport and Off-Road, each setting offering varying tunes of power, accelerator mapping and regenerative braking. You can feel each the effect of each mode, especially in the single-pedal driving of Eco; it’s not as dramatic as the regen on some cars, but pretty well judged straight out of the box.
We did not get a chance to plug the Inverted Range Rover Classic #001 in to charge, but the company claims 75kWh DC charging and the AC charger onboard allows for 6.6kW home-charging on a domestic wallbox. A 20-80% charge takes around 34 minutes at a suitably fast charger, according to Inverted.The electric Range Rover Classic is utterly bewitching to look at.
Its age is betrayed by a few details. Road noise is evident and there’s a tickle of slipstream by my right knee. Millington says new door seals are being designed to prevent the ingress of passing air. The parking brake switch is somewhat fiddly to use although I have no doubt that a longer acquaintance would overcome this.
