Forget the typical EV swap – Icon and Moment Motor Company have redefined the electric restomod with their breathtaking all-electric Ford Bronco. This isn’t just about a battery crammed into an old chassis; it’s a meticulously engineered fusion of classic Bronco charm and state-of-the-art EV technology, even boasting over-the-air (OTA) updates! This groundbreaking project proves that vintage vehicles can seamlessly integrate the latest advancements, offering a thrilling and sustainable driving experience.
Icon, renowned for its high-end restomods of iconic American trucks and SUVs, partnered with Moment Motor Company, experts in EV powertrain integration, to create this exceptional machine. After countless hours of research and development, they’ve produced an EV Bronco that meets Icon’s rigorous standards for quality and performance. This isn’t their first foray into electric power, but it’s the first time they’ve fully integrated such a sophisticated EV system into their catalog, made possible by advancements in battery technology and the proven expertise of Moment.
What sets this EV Bronco apart is its comprehensive and thoughtful engineering. Safety, full system integration, robust thermal management, and even OTA updates for future enhancements are key features. Unlike some simpler EV conversions, Icon and Moment have meticulously addressed critical aspects like battery cooling and regenerative braking to ensure optimal performance and longevity. The result is an EV Bronco that retains the engaging driving dynamics of its gasoline-powered counterpart while delivering the instant torque and smooth power of an electric powertrain.
The heart of this electric marvel lies in its custom-specified 105 kWh battery pack and a re-engineered Tesla motor. Clever placement of the battery packs achieves a perfect 50:50 weight distribution, enhancing handling. The powertrain delivers a potent 440 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque, offering a 175-200 mile range. Importantly, Icon has preserved the classic Bronco experience with a traditional column shifter and even the engaging steering feel, thanks to a carefully calibrated electric power steering pump. This EV Bronco isn’t just a nod to the past; it’s a bold step into the future, proving that iconic design and cutting-edge electric technology can coexist beautifully.
