The batteries can vary their capacity depending on the desired autonomy, from between 52 and 93 kWh. They will also be able to receive charges with alternating current (6.6 kW) or continuous current (up to 100 kW).
electrical markets the kit to order worldwide and installation can be done by any trained mechanic.
The prices vary according to the specifications and the model of the car, a kit to electrify the Land Rover Defender in its different generations, with a 120 CV module and a 52 kWh battery, it costs 27,750 euros.
