I did the math once how much range you'd get with a converted EV Land Cruiser 80. [0]
In my calculation it was around 100 miles range tops due to battery weight, aerodynamics, unoptimized drivetrain, etc.

You may have done a calculation, but these guys have done the real thing:

Range: 55kWh 250km (155 miles), 110kWh 450km (279 miles).
Excellent! Thanks for sharing!
Maybe without the powertrain that Land Rover might be halfway reliable, finally (hehe) [0]
I was looking more into something like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YX1YOvRpjo (some really nice solutions shown)

Its reliably improves as the British engineering is reduced... These EV trucks are going to be running for 100 years. No crazy Chinese firmware, no bonkers Musk autonomy, charge them from the solar on your roof, enough torque to pull a semi trailer out of a ditch.
