    " only available through approved installation centers."This won't sell; people will just buy a crashed EV for 1/10th the cost and salvage the motor and battery. This is more of an insult than a product. It reeks of "you're not qualified to work on our premium electrons until you pay $10k and pass our one-day eCourse"

    A “crate” motor you can’t install yourself.

    I watch a couple of great YouTube channels that do these types of EV conversions. In Wales/UK: https://www.youtube.com/@ElectricClassicCars In Utah: https://www.youtube.com/@electricsupercar In California: https://www.youtube.com/@EVWest (seems dormant right now though)

    American automakers - good engineering, good designers but politicians i.e protecting the jobs & Wall Street short-term thinking get in the way.though GM seems to be the only american automaker that hasn't really given up on EVs

    Cool idea for vintage cars that were unremarkable when it came to driving characteristics or where only the frame and/or body survived with no drivetrain and hard to source donors.

    For anyone looking to do an electric conversion. Chevy have a "crate motor" package based on one of their electric motors.

    I was excited about this idea until I found out it's $27k

    But they keep the 4-speed transmission? For what purpose?

    I wouldn't be excited when their cars comes with a spy package that sells every information when your are in it.It won't take years for they to think that they can pry in private conversations in the car for whatever purpose they want
