Scottish EV start-up targets Land Rover Defender with £75,000 4x4

The new vehicle is currently available for UK pre-orders but will be offered in the US from 2023 as part of a tie-up with EV sales, leasing and distribution specialist Wyre. The firm will target various industries including Canadian forestry businesses, Floridian farms, Texan oil fields and gold mines in Nevada.

The firm also has plans to produce knock-down vehicle kits should demand exceed the capacity of its Glasgow factory. Such a scheme could allow it to qualify for the US’s new $7500 EV tax subsidy, which applies to domestically built vehicles only.

But will it actually get made? There are lots of ambitious electric-offroad startups, building blocky prototypes, getting hype, but will buyers will get their product? My sympathies to all the people who tried buying an identical-looking Bollinger B1 in 2018.

I can see it being a useful tool on some estates but not at £75k.

Oh God…don’t do it boys. Too late.

…I hope they succeed but this has ringtones of the “Argyll”

Looks like the Hammerhead Eagle i-Thrust

I’ve already seen someone post that it is “just” £75,000 🙄 For a vehicle with a claimed range of 168 miles.
