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

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

consp•53m ago

Reduction ratios, greater comparability due to interfacing links, attachment points, just a few guesses. Most ev conversions I've seen keep the gearbox.

Probably to interface with existing cars by replacing the engine, retaining everything after, including the existing transmission, differential(s), and suspension.

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

OliverGuy•20m ago

I get this is a pretty nice product that they won't sell in huge volume, but that is really steep, was expecting something <20k

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
