Zero Labs Automotive, a Los Angeles-based specialist in electric vehicle (EV) conversions, is set to introduce a revamped all-electric version of the classic Land Rover Series 109.
This model, which utilizes the company’s proprietary Generation 4 EV platform, features nearly 4,000 design upgrades aimed at enhancing safety and performance. The vehicle is reported to achieve a top speed of 120 mph.
Founded in 2015, Zero Labs has emerged as a leader in the conversion of classic vehicles to electric power, developing its own EV technology in-house. The company aims to bridge the gap between classic cars and the new electric era, particularly as many iconic vehicles face obsolescence due to environmental regulations.
The Generation 4 platform, debuting with the Land Rover Series 109, follows the successful introduction of the third-generation platform in 2022. The earlier platform provided significant performance improvements, including adjustable ride height control and a range exceeding 250 miles.
According to Zero Labs, the reimagined Land Rover Series 109 includes a 100 kW battery pack that powers a dual-motor setup, delivering a total of 600 horsepower and 300 Nm of torque.
Customers will have the option to upgrade to Level 3 DC fast charging capabilities, enhancing the vehicle’s convenience for modern users.
Despite the hype surrounding other electric vehicles, Zero Labs positions its electric Land Rover as a classic alternative, with its founder and CEO Adam Roe stating, “Global electrification of existing vehicles has been largely ignored…This demand motivated us to rethink and innovate, eliminating older dependencies and redesigning everything without wasting billions on overseas robotic factories.” The company has received over 80,000 order requests, showcasing strong interest in its electrification services.
Only 25 units of the new electric Land Rover Series 109 will be produced, allowing for customization and configuration before deliveries commence in 2025.
Zero Labs has also announced collaborations with various electric motor, battery, and parts manufacturers, with plans to unveil a new generation of electrification products in the fourth quarter of this year. Further details on upcoming models and partnerships are expected in the coming months.
