One of the hottest trends in the auto hobby these days is upfitting older cars with an electric drivetrain. Gone is the smoke-belching, internal combustion motor, replaced with clean energy and huge horsepower. We’ve seen everything from Porsches to old trucks get the transformation, but we think the coolest EV swaps are pre-war vehicles. The guy who invented Simple Green cleaner is bringing his electrified pre-war roadster to Las Vegas and holding court at SEMA 2024

The Revolt Crate Motor built by Revolt systems combines the best of modern electric vehicle technology with the simplicity of a bolt-in crate engine. The reVolt CR-43 is designed to mount in the engine bay of your existing car. It will connect directly to your drive shaft to provide instantaneous torque of the electric motor straight to the rear-end of your favorite classic car.

Matthew Deeley is hoping to debut at the 2024 Bonneville Speed Week an electric land-speed record motorcycle, developed in conjunction with California-based ReVolt Systems. The company specialises in producing high-output electric-drive systems for classic cars and hot rods.

What do you get when you convert a gas-guzzling muscle machine into an EV? A ride that “hauls more ass.”

Kevin Emr was bouncing from company to company as a product development engineer in Dallas when he got a call about a dream job he didn’t know he wanted. He had been a car enthusiast for as long as he could remember—the kind of boy who could identify any vehicle by the shape…

Eddy Borysewicz’s passion for classic cars and innovation led to an electrified 1965 Ford Mustang, blending power and nostalgia. Revolt Systems’ electric crate motor transformed the Mustang with 450kW power and 850 ft⋅lb torque at the yoke. Borysewicz’s electrified Mustang won the Best Paint award at Electrify Showoff in Long Beach, CA.   Eddy Borysewicz,…

Peter Lobner, 2 November 2021 In 2016, I wrote about Ohio State University’s Venturi Buckeye Bullet-3 (VBB-3) all-electric, four wheel drive land speed record (LSR) car, which set an FIA (Federation Internationale de l’Automobile) world electric vehicle two-way land-speed record (Category A Group VIII Class 8) at an average speed of 341.4 mph (549 kph) on 19…

Ever since it was introduced at the World’s Fair in 1964, the Ford Mustang has held a special place in the increasingly smaller American muscle car pantheon, and in the hearts of the true blue oval faithful. Here are 10 from the SEMA show. Read story on autoweek.com

The team ran 357 miles per hour to become the fastest EV in the world. The world of electric hot rodding is hotter than it has ever been. I know I say this a lot, but it feels like the 1950s all over again, with speed freaks stealing motors out of big luxury sedans and stuffing them into streamliners and going really frickin’ fast. As Everyday Joes continue to figure out what makes electric propulsion tick, these machines are only going to get quicker, faster, and better. This week that case is made ever more clear by the fact that a Eddy Borysewicz and a few of his friends put together a volunteer effort to build the fastest electric car in the world.
