Low-cost electric Land Rovers for farmers and landowners

与加的夫大学和沃西农场(格拉斯顿伯里节)合作的电动汽车旨在开展一个创新项目，将四辆柴油路虎防御者改装成电动车辆，并将它们部署在一个正常工作的农场(沃西农场)。我们这样做是为了了解电动“工作”车辆可能具有的需求和当前的限制，并优化电力动力总成的设计以解决这些限制。到目前为止，关于电动四轮驱动车辆如何在农场作为工作车辆运行的数据非常有限。它能比柴油版表现更好，更有效地完成任务吗？通过原型收集数据意味着我们可以优化电池需求、充电站和通过农场自己的电源建立充电系统，并为农用车辆创造循环经济。

Electrogenic in partnership with Cardiff University and Worthy Farm (Glastonbury Festival) aims to undertake an innovative project that will convert four diesel Land Rover Defenders into electrically powered vehicles and deploy them on a working farm (Worthy Farm). We're doing this to understand the demands and current limitations that an electric powered 'working' vehicle may have and to optimise the design of the electric powertrain to address these limitations.To date there is very limited data, if any, on how an electric powered four-wheel drive vehicle operates as a working vehicle on a farm. Can it out-perform the diesel version and complete tasks more effectively? Gathering that data through prototyping means we can optimisation battery requirements, charging stations and build in re-charging systems via the farms own power source and create a circular economy for farming vehicles.
