Ford Motor Co. Electric Crate Motor.

You can make your own ev!

In case you were not aware, Ford now offers an electric motor for purchase. It is the same motor that is equipped in the Mustang Mach-e. This motor will be able to give you the possibility to make almost any vehicle into and EV! That is if the motor fits of course. I can already smell the skid mark that will divide the different generation of car enthusiasts.

THE PURISTS vs THE MOD..ers?

Not sure what they call themselves, but I am pretty confident that a nickname will rise pretty soon.


This engine will be able to provide 210kW (218hp) with a peak 317lb-ft of torque. The package can be bought on their website for $4,095 and it will include


- HV motor to traction inverter harness

  • LV Harness/connector

  • Vent Tube assembly


However it will not include

  • Traction inverter

  • Control system

  • Battery


So yes, unfortunately, the battery is not included. Im sure that if you take on this project then you’ll be easily $10,000 deep. So unless you’re ready to be left by your wife then I would not recommend taking on the task of retro fitting one of these just yet. Ford does not offer the battery on their website. This motor will not come with manufacturer warranty so be careful if you decide to be one of the brave ones.


Thanks for reading.


P.S.

Be a man, drink another.
