More than a new all-electric off-road model (or rather a re-release of a true off-road icon, which has long since gone out of production), the Tazzari Defender Electric is a demonstrator, not approved for road use, which it serves as a business card for the company from Imola which is now aiming to exit the limited market for electric quadricycles. The Tazzari EV Technology division, which also works for external partners helping them in the development and industrialization of battery powered vehicles, has created this unique model starting from a Defender 110 with a thermal engine. For the transformation into EV, a 200 kW electric power unit has been adapted, connected to the original Land Rover transmission in order to maintain the original powertrain with manual transmission, gearbox and 4x mechanical traction. At Tazzari they explain that to take advantage of this construction opportunity it was necessary to limit the torque output which in a 200 kW electric motor (corresponding to over 272 hp) is certainly high and available practically from zero revolutions. No indication has been provided on the electric range which varies, in a vehicle of this type, by the type of use and the size of the lithium-ion batteries, and which according to some media could be between 100 and 500 km. Now the goal is to use this experience not only to make Tazzari's capabilities known but also to prepare conversion kits, ideal for old generation off-road vehicles - with petrol and diesel engines - and also for agricultural vehicles.
