Most impressive it creates a reliable defender

I remember hearing about this company years. Gm v8 conversions was their speciality now electrification per Tesla. The range is actually pretty good relative to the oem powertrain of old and plugging 🔌 it at home. Great timing. If I had the money 💰 🤑 💸 yes.

So happy to see this happen, giving life to older classic cars via electric. Sure it costs a lot but it's a great alternative and lower maintenance in the long run. I would hate to lose all these older vehicles just because it had a gas engine.

This is a growth industry, conversions and EV upgrades are going to be huge. It took a lot of of capital to be a hot rod shop for ICE cars and it was hard to compete with OEMs as they made higher performance versions of cars. But electrifying cars will take less capital to get started and each company will be able to make a bigger difference in the performance. They won’t just be faster, they will be a new type of car.

@@rickjames5998 did you watch the video? The entire space under the hood is full, and so is the space that used to contain the gas tank.

ECD IS PUTTING OUT EXCELLENT BUILDS! WE SUPPLY THE INDICATOR PANEL ON THE DASH

[@vzo8049]

Got a link where we can purchase panels?

[@MJorgy5]

Nice looking restorations. I wish they would've showcased the battery packs as much as the motor.

[@jhomrich89]

"Gas is expensive" ok, imagine what this will do to the price of coal if everyone had electric cars and who pays for that? Oh that's right...

[@inomad]

California power grid cannot handle summer air conditioners. How is it supposed to handle millions of electric vehicles?

[@AruaBakayaro]

Someone here gets it Just wait, the price for electricity will also dramatically increase.

[@craigmerkey8518]

Wow can you imagine? Stunning!

[@keithjackson4985]

This is fantastic!

[@erinfreize]

Playground of rich folk exclusively. What happens when those batteries eventually fail? Why just junk it and buy another. Very green indeed! Personally, if I had lottery winnings burning a hole in my pocket, I'd opt for a bullet proof LS swap.

[@needleontherecord]

No need for oil pressure gauge but maybe more volts…

[@stickynorth]

The best of both worlds!

[@stickynorth]

If you can afford it... Otherwise the new EV Land Rover is coming soon...

[@S2kBPRIME]

Brilliant, I want one!

[@liverush24]

I should've bought a load of these when they were cheap. Lack of foresight, that's my problem.

[@bassface84]

WANT!

[@FLJAMESFL]

Wow!

[@AruaBakayaro]

The ruining of a perfectly good vehicle...

[@stickynorth]

The ruining of a perfectly good comment section... SMH...

[@hondamanvtec2894]
