Hi Great job well done. I have a Land Rover doscovery I would like to convert. I was thinking due to reduced range of electric that I would ditch the transfer case etc. Any wilderness will be out odf range of the EV.

Did you ever consider AC regenerative motor set up with direct drive to diff?

What do u think?

Thanks for posting your project. Very inspiring.
