What is this link?
Its the key to an all electric Fiero, Chevell Z28 etc.
Chevrolet is releasing an electric powertrain into the aftermarket for your own cars.
Im just waiting for Tesla to do the same.  lol
Electric crate motor? works for me.

I wonder what road block California will throw at this.
I would drive an electric Fiero. I know there are already a couple home built ones.

I wonder what outrageous price GM will charge for these components?

I'm wondering where you could put the batteries without screwing up the weight bias.

Good question Willie.
A battery pack probably weighs a lot more than a full to the brim Fiero centerline fuel tank. 10.2 gals I believe is the 'official capacity' x 6.3lbs/gal=64.2 lbs. I don't know how much the empty tank itself weighs.. I guess about 20lbs from memory of replacing one in an 84.

If the price is reasonable, I will be seriously thinking about it.
I'm currently converting my Fiero into an EV, and although I do have my eye on an electric motor to use on it, I haven't got it yet. So if this is a good option, I'm seriously interested.

That battery pack looks HUGE, even in the back of an old Blazer. I've no idea how you'd stuff that under a Fiero. So, you still have to do the battery pack and motor to transmission adapter by yourself, at least for a Fiero or other "non-supported" application.
Still tempting....

I did not look into it, but does it require a transmission?
