I've been watching the Electric GT folks for a year or so. VERY interesting what they're doing. It seems currently they're targeting the high value restoration market more than the 💩📦 4x4 market. But they've gotta start somewhere.

Does look cool, but 50k for the v6 like unit and 65k for the v8 like unit is a big chunk.. this includes the battery though and looks to be relatively simple to integrate. Maybe take a few extra steps and make it hot swappable to spread the value and then run it in a 40 or something for winter and a mustang or kit car in the summer?

They're definitely charging for their initial engineering time with that price. But it's also one of the closest to plug-and-play kits I've seen.
