Swindon Powertrain has launched the 'crate' electric motor for low-volume EV conversions that it first announced last year.
Available to order now, it costs £6400 plus VAT. That price includes the 80kW (107bhp) motor itself plus the transmission and differential. Options for cooling, inverters and even a limited-slip differential are available.
Swindon Powertrain has perfected the formula when moving from concept form to production. It's actually smaller than what was originally proposed, at 441mm wide and 384mm long, and the firm claim the highest power/volume ratio of any automotive system. It weighs in at a touch under 50kg.
The powertrain was being developed in partnership with electric motor manufacturer iNetic and engineering firm Code, with funding coming from the Niche Vehicle Network, a body that supports more than 900 of Britain’s lowest-volume automotive production and engineering companies - Link
