Classic Defender Goes Electric with American Twist

The folks at BEDEO have taken on a sacred icon and given it a jolt—literally. Their latest collaboration with Monarch Defender has turned the legendary Land Rover Defender into a fully electric machine, crafted exclusively for the American market.

At the heart of the transformation is BEDEO’s 75 kWh battery and in-wheel motor system. That’s right—no motor under the hood. Each wheel houses its own drive unit, delivering up to 247 kilometers of range whether you’re cruising highways or clawing through backwoods trails.

Monarch Defender, known for its artful Defender restorations, makes sure every inch of the EV conversion feels like a handcrafted masterpiece—because it is. They're not just bolting in batteries; they’re reshaping the idea of what a classic 4x4 can be. And when it comes to delivery, setup, and helping drivers embrace the quiet future of off-roading, Monarch is leading the charge. Yes, the future might just smell like leather interiors and hum with electric silence.
