Guys I saw on YouTube a Defender converted to full EV. Do you think it's possible here in SL? Charging, parts, etc. Or better to stick with TDI/Puma swaps?
Yah, it's definitely possible to convert a Defender to full EV here in SL! ⚡
There are a few places doing EV conversions (https://share.google/nlmp2vS1SBd5U5KBe) and battery installs, mostly around Colombo, Kottawa, and Homagama. Some workshops can handle:
- Battery pack installation
- Controller & motor fitting
- Charging setup (home chargers and some fast-charging points in Colombo)
- Maintenance & repairs
Parts are usually imported, so it can be a bit expensive, but doable if you plan it properly. For trails and city use, people are already starting to experiment with EV Defenders here.
