Electric motor swapping is becoming surprisingly popular, with car enthusiasts swapping internal combustions engines (ICE) out of old cars and replacing them with electric motors from crashed or otherwise totaled EVs. The Tesla motor swap is becoming the LS swap of the EV world. EV swapping is becoming so popular, in fact, that Ford decided to sells its Mustang Mach-E electric motor as a crate motor, similar to what it does with its V8s. Should BMW do the same with its new eDrive <\/a>motors?<\/p>\n

What Ford is doing is pretty neat. Just like how it sells its Mustang V8 engine as a crate engine (meaning it\u2019s a basic engine that literally comes in a crate), which can be put into any car your skill\/budget will allow, it\u2019s now selling its \u201cEluminator\u201d performance electric motor from the Mustang Mach-E. The Eluminator can be used in any application you want and is often being used to power old, classic ICE vehicles.<\/p>\n
