E.C.D. Automotive is a Florida-based firm that turns old, sometimes damaged Land Rovers into bespoke, six-figure luxury vehicles. E.C.D. primarily builds customized classic Defenders, each taking around 2200 working hours to transform the cars from the ground up. E.C.D. mainly used to plop in LS crate engines, but it recently began tinkering with Tesla motors and batteries. While the majority of its conversions use internal combustion engines, E.C.D. cofounder Scott Wallace notes that clients are becoming more interested in its electric powertrains due to the instant torque, easier to navigate California emissions regulations, and most importantly, the lack of necessary maintenance.
