With the price of electricity as it is, and the relative short life of batteries (compared to an internal combustion engine) I think electric vehicles have no appeal to me.

Not a chance in hell anyone will see me in an electric vehicle of any sorts for a good few years yet.
The greenest vehicle is the one already made, so an electric vehicle has no place in my world, ever.. 
And I have looked.. New ATV ... garbage range, and very high price.. New main vehicle - range not too bad, but no towing limit to speak of
Oh yes - and this too..

I am converting my 90 to electric. Only problem is the 400 mile extension lead I have packed in the back

You've got to think "outside the box" (to quote management speakI am converting my 90 to electric. Only problem is the 400 mile extension lead I have packed in the back
). Just pack 40,000 AA batteries in the back of your Landy. Should be enough to get you to the shops so you can buy another lot .

You have to remove a lot of dead weight first. Plus how will this be used by military, seeing Landrover is still a major customer.

If I had to go electric it might as well be a 1909 Baker electric [ See Jay Leno's garage on the tube ] Not much progress for over a hundred years with electric but that is because the oil giants wanted it that way. Bet the little Baker would be pretty good off road, great ground clearance and torque available.

If I'm still around I wait for hydrogen powered tech on existing engines ,they are hyping up electric but the electrical infrastructure and distribution is not there to charge all these vehicles
Have you seen the re-designs JCB have done ? Essentially, their existing short block with a new cylinder and such, running on hydrogen, in a full range of their construction equipment ... Quite interesting

Looks like we are going to have a hydrogen production near me. Power to do this will be from solar and wind they say. Rail line nearby to transport it.

With their reputation of superlative electrical systems, I'm sure an all electric Land Rover will stand quite well with their stellar internal combustion models.
In fact, it would be great to have a new clean modern Land Rover sitting uselessly in the drive next to the other dead or dying Range Rovers I own.

That'll be the big debate. An environmentally friendly Landy with an internal combustion engine which can't go anywhere because its broken. Or a leccy one which can't go anywhere because its made by Land Rover who aren't the best at leccy anything

I am sure it can be built in so we know it is a genuine LR product

They could fit scotch lock connectors in the electrics to build in unreliability to make it authentic.
