The platform the L663 90/110/130 are build on is not feasible for fully electric drive.

JLR is introducing a new platform for fully electric cars.
All future fully electric cars will be build based on this platform.
There might be a fully electric Defender based on this, but it will not be a L663.

When you say”Charging is free 90% of the time.” You really mean someone else is paying, generally the uk taxpayer, there is no such thing as a free lunch! 130 Puma HCPU with an Artica 240LR Demountable Camper

But will they be able to upgrade the platform to take the 440e architecture and achieve the FFRR and RRS ranges? They are doing 70 EV miles and amazing BIK rates? 1951 80" S1 2.0

That’s what I’m hoping for I’m due to take delivery of my l460 phev sometime soon but if the defender was upgraded I would swap. I can’t see why they cannot do it in a forthcoming model year. 110 MY23.5 X Dynamic HSE
RR MY23 HSE PHEV
D5 MY19 HSE - Now Sold
D4 MY16 HSE Luxury - Now Sold
D4 MY12 HSE - Gone

Won’t be happening with current body shell - will need to wait for new chassis / floor plan etc

Such a shame. That would be a cracker if so. I’m almost considering a RRS 440e as it’s so tax efficient. Just not sure it’s me 1951 80" S1 2.0
