Casey Loter converted this Chevy Apache truck to electric at his company Electric 51 Speed Shop in Salt Lake City, Utah. Casey removed the factory inline-six and drivetrain for a electric motor and battery pack from a Tesla Model S. In the back of the truck is a Tesla drive unit directed by a EV Controls controller. The motor is powered by a 85 kWh battery pack managed by an Orion BMS2. Casey estimates the electric conversion added about 400-500 pounds. Listen to Connor Anderson from High Performance Academy interview Casey about the truck in the video below.
