Zero Labs, a company known for modernizing classic vehicles by converting them to electric power, has once again delivered a unique blend of the old and the new. This time, it’s the iconic Land Rover Series 109 that gets an electric makeover, which the team at Zero Labs refers to as the “Anti-Cyber Truck.”
The company’s take on the Land Rover is both a celebration of classic car design and a step toward a cleaner future, made possible by integrating their latest Generation 4 electric platform. The 2025 Land Rover Series 109 joins a lineup of previous conversions that includes models like the Ford Bronco, Ford F-250, and the Defender 110, as part of the company’s broader push towards electrification and zero-emission vehicles.
With global zero-emission mandates already in place in countries like Norway, Germany, the Netherlands, Britain, and the U.S. for 2030 and 2035, the shift to electric power is a growing reality. Zero Labs aims to offer a solution to those concerned about the future of the 1.6 billion gas-powered vehicles still on the road.
Their focus is on converting historically significant models to electric power, preserving the design while upgrading the performance. As the Zero Labs team explains, “This movement has left millions wondering what will become of the 1.6 billion gas-powered vehicles currently on the road.”
A scalable solution for electrification
Unlike traditional do-it-yourself (DIY) electric conversion shops, Zero Labs takes a more structured approach. Over the course of three years, the company developed and tested their electric 5-door Land Rover Series 109, which features nearly 4,000 proprietary design improvements. These enhancements improve both safety and performance, setting their work apart from simple aftermarket modifications.
Adam Roe, Founder and CEO of Zero Labs Automotive, emphasizes the importance of electrifying existing vehicles: “Global electrification of existing vehicles has been largely ignored,” Roe states. “Since launching Zero Labs, we’ve received over 80,000 order requests… This demand motivated us to rethink and innovate, redesigning everything without wasting billions on overseas factories.” According to Roe, Zero Labs offers a scalable solution that could impact 99% of the world’s vehicles by retrofitting them with electric power, starting with some of the most recognizable models.
2025 electric Land Rover Series 109: Retro meets future
In addition to being powered by electricity, the new 5-door Land Rover Series 109 comes with numerous upgrades that make it suitable for modern-day use without sacrificing its vintage charm. On the inside, Zero Labs has included laser-cut precision vent flaps and a state-of-the-art heating and air conditioning system to enhance comfort. The interior has also been redesigned, with flat floors that increase space by 25%.
For performance, the vehicle is fitted with adjustable ride height control, an auto-sensing rack-and-pinion steering system, and a dual-motor configuration capable of delivering 600 horsepower. The electric Land Rover offers a driving range of over 250 miles on a single charge, a feature that positions it as a practical option for both urban and off-road use.
Despite these modern touches, the company has made a conscious effort to retain the vehicle’s original aesthetic. Large touchscreens, common in most new electric vehicles, have been left out in favor of analog-style gauges. Digital diagnostics are available through a mobile app, but they remain hidden within the vehicle’s design, staying true to its classic roots.
Limited production
The 2025 electric Land Rover Series 109 will be produced in an extremely limited run. Only 25 units will be available, with priority access given to investors and existing customers. Roe adds, “Classic Electric Broncos made Zero Labs famous. But this reimagined Land Rover Series 109 brings us to a global stage. This is the future of our past.”
As interest in electric vehicles grows and more mandates for zero emissions are implemented worldwide, Zero Labs’ approach offers an intriguing solution—blending classic vehicle design with cutting-edge technology to keep history on the road in a sustainable way.
