 This 1978 Ford F100 pickup truck can go 0-60 in 3 seconds. That's because it has two electric motors inside. Ford has been parading this resto mod, which means restored and modified truck all around the country to show off their e-crate motor they're selling. For $4,100 you can buy one of these motors and you can put it into anything that you'd like, much like Ford did with this F100. A crate motor is a motor sold separately from a vehicle, and they've been around for a long time. It's a big deal. They are one of the first major automotive brands just behind Chevy to put one of these out. Now as great as Ford's e-crate motor may sound, and as awesome as it is that they are selling it directly, you still need a lot of engineering knowledge to put any of these parts together, and we're in the very early stages of EV restoration and repair. That's just a little piece of the story though, so go to youtube.com slash the verge to hear more.
