Four in-wheel motors generate 483 hp and the same retrofit tech could be applied to other classic cars

Four in-wheel motors replace Defender’s petrol or diesel engine. Total power of 483 hp is way in excess of what original ICE version offered. 75 kWh battery can be charged to 80 percent in 45 minutes. There are plenty of firms turning classic cars - including Land Rovers - into EVs, but UK-based Bedeo’s new Land Rover Defender conversion is unusual because it uses in-wheel motors.

Bedeo says a standard 22 kW on-board charger can fill the battery completely in five hours, or you can achieve an 80 percent fill in 45 minutes if you have access to a 50 kW supply. Using hub motors allows Bedeo to junk the Landie’s driveshafts, which saves some weight, although the unsprung mass at each corner is presumably much greater with all the electric guts dangling at the end of each suspension coil together with the brakes and wheels themselves.
