Spartan EV 2.0 review: Can you go off-road in an EV? Yes, you can

The Czech-made electric 4x4 is pitched at eco-minded agriculture and forestry businesses - (The Independent/Steve Fowler)

When off-roading in the unspoilt countryside, doesn’t it make sense to want to drive a zero-emissions 4x4? Strange, then, that there isn’t a whole heap of them to choose from. In that respect, the Spartan EV 2.0 is well worth a look.

It’s an interesting car with international DNA. Using an Indian-built 4x4 as its base, it’s imported without its engine and gearbox into the Czech Republic by MW Motors, owned by Irish entrepreneur Maurice Ward (hence the MW), and converted into a proper EV using Chinese-made battery tech.
