It was only a matter of time before EV swaps and EV crates become options for people. The times they are a-changin.

Faggots they may be but my money says there will be lots of interest
Well, at the present time I'm not seeing EVs all over the roads every day. I'm not seeing dozens of people ordering EVs. I'm not seeing keen interest in electric motors for project cars. I believe, despite what any of us thinks, including yours truly, the jury is still out on the near term interest in EVs and electric crate motors. It will continue to be questionable until the electrical charging grid is expanded to handle future needs when EVs become a majority of what is manufactured. So I will remain on the fence on this one as far as "lots of interest". At this point and time, I'm not seeing it. We'll see a year from now what, if anything, has changed.

I'm surprised Bob. Especially being in CT. I literally see 5-10 Tesla's a day. Another 5-10 Volts. Not to mention all the Hybrids (plug-in or not)

They're usually riding along next to lifted truck, sports cars, Jeeps, or SUV's.

Quite the juxtaposition here.

I see about 10-15 Tesla's a day where I am at in CO. Maybe 1-2 hybrids. Rarely ever see volts. Tesla's are nothing more than a status symbol here at best.

Yea. Tesla's far from "affordable". Not when a P90/100 runs you north of 50k used

No idea why so many Volt's are here. Up until recently they seemed like solid electric cars. Now they're bombs in waiting apparently according to the recall (lol)

Nevertheless, electric has a place in the market. Lot of people buying them. That market segment will grow but not overtake the ICE market. Will be decades upon decades.

As for me, I'm getting 13 mpg in our sequioa, 20mpg on 93 in my 2+ stage N54 BMW, and basically 8 mpg on 93 in the soon to be E85 5 mpg mustang.

The future may be here but I'm still in 2005

I think the big difference with this is that it drops into the car of your choice, it won't just be some gay car with no grill.
Some may be interested in this. I'm hoping not so much though

If you follow a lot of the stuff for the next generation, the new thing is EV restomods. LS swapping the world is so millennial. Now it's all about throwing out that old gas guzzling V8 with carbs and replacing it with batteries, then replacing that AM radio and analog gauges (whatever the hell those are) with a tablet on the dash.

You know, taking all the stuff that made it a classic and throwing it away.

Whoever makes the first turnkey (err, smartphone operated) EV 1st gen Mustang is gonna make bank.

This is all bullshit. The limp wristed, feminine liberal soys are winning. As red blooded Americans, we should fight to the death for our fossil fuel burning, obnoxiously loud, **** the neighbors who complain about the sound and the smell of burnt rubber internal combustion engines..... and chicken wings.

this shit is out of control.
