Ford is selling Mach-E crate motors to promote custom EV conversions like this F-100 concept - Electrek:

In a recent press release, Ford has unveiled a unique concept vehicle that consists of a 1978 F-100 pickup electrified using Ford Performance’s Eluminator electric crate motors. That’s the same motor in Ford’s 2021 Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition.

The $3,900 electric motor is now available to the public, should any EV enthusiasts with the proper conversion knowledge want to create a custom vehicle of their own. Although, you’ll still need to acquire an inverter, battery pack, and control system.

This is super cool.. It sounds like they’re going to follow with turnkey battery/control systems to match, which makes it even more exciting for conversion projects.
