Default Going electric?

Has anyone got any experience in converting Discovery or Range Rover into an electric 4x4? Or perhaps Land Rover itself might be thinking of at least a hybrid?

No one motor is more than enough.
In 4X4's diesel is the way to go as 4x4's have weight of the drive train
batterys on top of that would not be wise.

thats what I came up with too!

although I did figure in the win/loss ratio of the Buffalo Bills in an average season... and that may make my number a bit low.
