Ford has introduced one and GM already had one.
A crate motor is a drop in motor. They've been common forever in gasoline and diesel engines.
Now, the electric ones are out.
I don't know how they work in this regard, but they can be mated to an automatic or manual transmission. So they are specifically now being marketed for older vehicles, for conversion to electric. you keep your existing transmission.
I know, I know, "they'll never work here".
Well, they will, they're going to, and the shift has really started to come.
And I know the other arguments as well.
"They aren't really green if you consider the electrical power source".
True enough, right now, but pretty soon, I suspect, coal-fired power plants will be a thing of the past.
Petroleum fueled vehicles are clearly on that path right now.
One of the supposed prohibitive facts on that that is all the old cars that take gasoline engines. Well, maybe not so much.
