Has anyone looked at the “eCrate motor package” that General Motors is planning to release commercially next year? About a month ago there was news of using this kit to restore a 1977 K5 Blazer, in pretty much stock configuration. Looked very slick, made me wonder about the prospects for a “stock” M998 EV conversion for one of my two rigs...
The kit contains a Chevy Bolt EV motor that provides the same 200 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque as the little hatchback. Providing power is the Bolt's 60-kWh, 400-volt battery pack, and the same motor controllers, power inverters and battery cooling and management systems are all used. Word is the kit will be available for sale in the second half of next year. Couple of good photos in this blog post:
