There are some companies working on electric crate engines for conversion, I forget the names but they should be ready sometime soon
The electric motor for the Mach-E is available in a crate.
That’s pretty wild and really cool to ponder. Battery placement and balancing its weight safely seems like a steep hurdle for bolt-on EV conversions.
Seems like there’s potential space in a lot of the undercarriage, or as flat packs at the base of the engine and trunk compartments.
