Everrati's Electric Land Rover Defender for Luxury Yachts

author: FutureCar Staff    

Everrati, a U.K. EV conversion company, has introduced its electric Land Rover Defender conversion as the perfect accessory for super yachts. Dubbed the "Shore Tender," this vehicle provides yacht owners with a land-based mode of transportation at their ports of call without the need for gas or diesel. The electric Land Rover is designed to be stowed onboard a yacht, unloaded, and driven around while the yacht is docked.

The Shore Tender is not just designed with yacht stowage in mind, but also features nautical touches such as a sailcloth roof awning, capstans, and floor panels made from plastic recovered from the ocean. It offers removable doors, a built-in champagne chiller, and picnic baskets. Customers can even choose paint colors to match their yachts, and Everrati will provide custom sailcloth duffel bags embroidered with the yacht's name and any desired logos.

Although Everrati announced its Land Rover Defender EV conversion last year, detailed specifications have not yet been provided. Pricing for the Shore Tender has also not been confirmed, but the standard Defender conversion starts at £185,000 ($223,228). Everrati also offers conversions for first-generation Range Rovers and Land Rover Series IIA.

Everrati, founded in 2019, initially focused on electric conversions of the 964-generation Porsche 911. However, the company has since expanded its portfolio to include classic Land Rovers, Ford GT40 replicas, and the W113 Mercedes-Benz SL "Pagoda."

Other companies have also entered the market for electric Defender conversions. Electrogenic, another U.K. firm, introduced a drop-in electric conversion kit in 2022, primarily targeting work vehicles. Raglan, based in North Carolina, builds a 600-hp Defender EV using Tesla components.
