I had this thought of making an electric El Camino and now that I am in the hunt for my next El Camino, I have toyed an all electric El Camino. I have skimmed a bit of this and that websites about making your own electric or converting your gasoline burner into a green machine.
Now in this years Sema show Ford has unveiled all-electric f-100 Eluminator concept with new EV Crate motor for customers to buy.
Oh, that would be awesome! And it's reasonable priced $3,900! But... it's a Ford. I can't make that kind of sacrilegious mistake. But then again, GM hasn't yet announced anything similar, and there will be something similar, I can guarantee it. As people are getting more into Electric Vehicles it's just a matter of time, when Big Auto Companies will follow Ford's path and sell all electric engines that you can install in your beloved Vintage car!

Okay, now this is getting too good. I mean, when I started writing this post I had just found out that Ford has unveiled all-electric F-100 Eluminator concept with new EV Crate motor for gearheads to buy and install it in their Vintage car and just as I was about to post this I learned that Chevrolet debuts concept aftermarket EV battery pack. I mean what else do I need to build my dream EV Camino?
Update:
Actually Chevrolet had announced it's own all-electric crate motor for homebuilt EV hotrods last year.
Now, I should have researched more this thing before posting.
