1995 Land Rover Range County Classic EV Conversion

This 1995 Land Rover Range Rover County Classic was built by ECD Automotive Design of Kissimmee, Florida, in 2021 with installation of a powertrain sourced from a Tesla Model X electric vehicle. A three-phase AC induction motor drives all four wheels through a single-speed direct-drive transmission, Tom Woods reinforced driveshafts, GBR Utah limited-slip differentials, and Ashcroft Transmissions half-shafts. Finished in white over quilted tan leather upholstery, the truck features with 100 kWh of battery-pack capacity as well as regenerative braking, electric power steering, LED headlights, a receiver hitch, a sunroof, 18″ wheels, power-adjustable front seats, a push-button shifter, Speedhut gauges, woodgrain interior trim, air conditioning, and an Alpine touchscreen head unit. The selling dealer acquired the truck in 2021. This EV-converted Range Rover is now offered in California with a build sheet, charging cables, manufacturer’s literature, a tire-repair kit, a first-aid kit, a Carfax report, and an Arkansas title. Coined “Project Ski” by ECD Automotive Design, the truck has been repainted in Alpine White with black pillars and features LED headlights, fog lights, a power sunroof, custom badging, mudflaps, a receiver hitch, and a rear window wiper. A standard CCS Level 2 charging plug is located behind the original fuel-filler door. The Carfax report notes that an accident in September 2011 caused damage to the front of the vehicle. Five-spoke 18″ Land Rover wheels are mounted with 255/55 Continental CrossContact LX25 tires. Braking is handled by hydraulically actuated discs at each corner and supplemented by regenerative braking. The rear brake calipers have an integrated electric parking brake. The truck is equipped with adjustable air suspension, and electric power steering was adapted. The cabin was refurbished during the build and features power-adjustable front seats upholstered in diamond-quilted tan leather, which extends to the armrests and door panels. Interior amenities include an Alpine touchscreen head unit, JL Audio speakers, a backup camera, a push-button shifter, a USB outlet, cupholders, heated front seats, woodgrain trim, air conditioning, an analog clock, power windows, and power mirrors. The four-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel fronts ECD-labeled Speedhut gauges. The digital odometer shows 2,100 miles, approximately 70 of which were added by the selling dealer. True chassis mileage is unknown. The smaller of two battery packs is housed in the cargo area. A battery-cooling system is found beneath the rear of the vehicle. The larger of the two battery packs—which offer approximately 100 kWh of total capacity—is located under the hood. Mounted approximately in the position of the Range Rover’s original transfer case, the electric motor and direct-drive unit are turned 90 degrees from their orientation in Tesla vehicles, powering Tom Woods reinforced driveshafts at a fixed 50:50 split. The truck also has GBR Utah limited-slip differentials and Ashcroft Transmissions half-shafts. The powertrain’s output is said to be 450 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque. The Carfax report shows the aforementioned September 2011 damage incident and also documents mileage inconsistencies in October 2011 and in February 2022. The Arkansas title is noted to be a duplicate document.
