Land Rover is pumping the brakes on the all-electric Defender.
The British marque is pushing back the debut of the battery-powered version of its beloved off-roader until next decade, according to The Times. The delay may allow the company to turn its attention to a smaller version of the popular 4×4.
The next generation of the SUV, which would have been the first to offer an electric powertrain option, has been pushed back two years to 2030 at the earliest. Its release is being delayed in part to see how the EV market, which is currently nowhere near as big as automakers predicted it would be earlier this decade, continues to evolve.
