19433445 - Chevrolet Performance Short wheelbase eCrate System

Chevrolet Performance, which helped pioneer the high performance crate engine and introduced the innovative Connect & Cruise crate engine kits, takes the next step into the future with the all-new eCrate system — its first-ever battery/motor system designed for electric-vehicle conversions.

The new eCrate system offers builders a comprehensive kit that includes the primary elements for converting most conventional combustion-engine-powered vehicles into fully electric propulsion. Its production-based components include a 66 kWh lithium-ion pack and a 400-volt electric drive motor that’s designed to bolt up to GM crate transmissions in the 4L60 family.

Additional supporting components include a thermal management system, the charging receptable, control modules and more.
