I see Landcruiser 70s are going all electric with some 200 on order for use in and around mining sites across Australia.

It won't be long before this filters down into surrounding towns as mining companies start to pop up charging points here and there.

This is sure to cause some gnashing of teeth around the traps!

70 Series Landcruiser EV conversions were available back when I bought my V8 turbo diesel  O:-) 

In fact, I think we had a discussion about a 70 Series EV breaking a dynamometer during testing last year.

Of course, they were priced way out of the ordinary punter's reach and were really only accessible to mining companies and very wealthy pastoralists.

If I remember correctly, the company went off shore after a couple of years, then ended up in partnership with Toyota.
