GM and Ford are already working on it. GM has one they call the 'E-Crate' that's been installed in a few cars but I don't think it's available to the public yet. https://www.chevrolet.com/performanc...lectrification Ford's is called the 'Eluminator Mach E Electric Motor, it's listed on the Ford Performance Parts website for sale. https://performanceparts.ford.com/part/M-9000-MACHE It appears you have to source your own battery and other components, so it's not quite plug and play yet. Also, there are a number of shops that have been converting classic cars using Tesla motors sourced from salvage cars, but going down that route is still beyond the reach of most back yard builders.
