New EV Conversions Approach
|
|
Electric GT, a Southern California startup, has developed a unique approach to EV conversions: build 100% of the EV drivetrain, minus only the battery pack, into a configuration that exactly matches the size and shape of the IC engine that comes out. It's like a "Crate Engine." Electric GT uses laser measuring to create a unit that perfectly matches the geometry of the engine that came out, so the pre-packaged system drops into the engine compartment and bolts up to the existing mounts, speeding and simplifying the conversion.
