Chevrolet introduces an electric conversion kit.

https://www.chevrolet.com/performance-parts/crate-engines/ecrate


The First-Ever Chevrolet Performance eCrate package

Introducing the first-ever Chevrolet Performance battery and motor system designed with electric vehicle conversions in mind. Our new eCrate system offers builders a comprehensive kit that includes all of the primary elements for converting most conventional combustion engine vehicles into fully electric propulsion.


Our system’s production-based components include a 66 kWh lithium-ion pack and 400-volt electric drive motor that is designed to connect directly to a GM 4-speed automatic transmission with an external mode switch. Chevrolet Performance’s eCrate system is only available through approved installation centers.

Hard to believe but apparently real.
