Crate engines are cool. They let you take a classic car and update the power plant... and now you can get an electric power plant designed to swap out for a small block V8 in "almost any car."
Anyone interested in an electric Slingshot?

I quickly glanced at the link, but didn't see any specifics on cost and range. My tyical ride is around 80 miles, but I like to take some other routes that are typically 130 - 160 or so, meaning I'd wat a range of at least 200 miles as a reserve.

My wife and I used our stimulus checks to buy a motorcycle in Florida. We live in Iowa. Our son lives in Florida. Figure it out.

Much more, price on that crate motor is $33k
I didn't read further, I'm assuming you still have to buy batteries, voltage regulators, etc.

Yep, maybe if that lotto ever falls in my lap...
