Not condoning, nor do I have any details, but I thought this was interesting. I saw it on my instagram this morning. From what I gathered on their website, there is an FJ40 build in progress, w/ a Mud build thread. ElectricGT All Electric Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 - ElectricGT

We all laugh now, but in the not too far future, Toyota won't be producing internal combustion engines for vehicles anymore. They've stated as much. The writing is on the wall (and in printed documents). The end is near. Thank goodness

Hey as long as I can still get the same power and range as I do with my gasser (or better yet, improved on either), I'm okay with it.

Very interesting for sure. Look forward to seeing what some of these conversions can do. ESP the range. Lithium cost big money. Wrecked- totaled Tesla’s sell for over 10k just to scrap out the battery cells. But with the right energy source, a electric land cruiser would be bad ass!

Diamond batteries are where it's at.

Diamond Batteries Made of Nuclear Waste Can Generate Power For Thousands of Years

Scientist have developed an ingenious means of converting nuclear power plant waste (76,430 metric tons in the US alone) into sustainable diamond batteries. These long-lasting batteries could be a clean and safe way to power spacecraft, satellites, and even medical devices.

If they would just relax the regulations on nuclear power cells we would be golden.

I would be totally into an electric motor for my 60! As Spook50 said - as soon as power and range are equal to my gas burner I would drop one in without hesitation. Assuming I could afford it!

Bring it on!
