“EVs are no longer just for city driving – they can do it all. Project Margaux is the perfect example of how ECD’s EV2 system can perform on par with, and in some cases better than, a traditional V8 engine,” said ECD CTO and co-founder Elliot Humble. Modern drivers also no longer need to worry about EVs performing in the forest, they come with four-wheel drive like any traditional engine build. Widespread chargers – including solar-powered stations right at trailheads – and ECD EV2’s increased ranges with a full battery reduce the headache of calculating when it’s time to turn around. Larger battery packs also offset any added weight from offroading upgrades such as a roll cage and make high-grade mountain roads inconsequential obstacles. Plus, for adventurers looking to become one with nature, an EV is a logical choice – a quieter drivetrain means more wildlife sightings.
