Chevrolet has unveiled what it calls the "future of hot-rodding": the E-10 concept electric pickup truck.
The E-10 is the electrified update of the automaker's 1962 C-10 pickup truck, mixing the body's vintage appearance with a modernized electric drivetrain. Its electrified parts come from the Chevy Bolt EV and an electric crate powertrain dubbed "Connect and Cruise," which includes electric crate motors - called eCrate - batteries, and a "conventional" automatic transmission.
Chevrolet joins the list of other automakers who have released concepts for SEMA, including Ford and Volkswagen.
"The Chevrolet E-10 electrified Connect & Cruise concept system reimagines the performance crate engine for hot rodders," Vice President of Performance and Motorsports Jim Campbell said in a statement.
"As General Motors continues to work toward our vision of a zero-emissions world, concepts such as this help us get there, while still supporting the enthusiasts who love to drive vintage vehicles."
Chevrolet isn't the only automaker that has been electrifying pickup trucks. Bollinger Motors recently unveiled its own for $125,000, and Tesla's is slated to be revealed later this month.
