Got a game reserve? Need a 4×4 EV?

The first electric utility vehicle to combine 4×4 off-road performance and road-legal driving has just gone on sale from ePower Trucks.

The Tomberlin VANISH is the UK’s only all-electric 4×4 that can be driven on the road as well as off it. Ideal for game reserves and estate management the go-anywhere EV is lighter, more powerful and has more safety features than the competition.

The VANISH

Jerry Hanss, Managing Director of Oldham-based ePower Trucks, said: “This is the first all-electric 4×4 that is fully road legal in the UK, offering true driver flexibility, huge cost savings on fuel and superb environmental benefits.”

With a top speed of 25mph and the capability to travel 50 miles on a single charge, the VANISH lends itself to a multitude of offroad activities. It comes with multi-speed forward and reverse speed transmission, can tow up to 682kg (1,500lbs) and carry two people plus a 227kg (500lb) payload.

The VANISH 2

As the photos show, the VANISH is great in marsh and boggy conditions, and the sealed battery pack and drivetrain ensures than even when fully submersed the VANISH keeps on going.

If you fancy getting your hands on one, and it does look like tremendous fun and practical, the VANISH is available with prices starting from £10,995 on the road, plus VAT.
