One of the highlights from the 2019 SEMA Show was the Chevy E-10 Concept – a battery-electric pickup truck that was based on a 1962 Chevy C-10 and featured a concept version of the Electric Connect and Cruise eCrate powertrain.
General Motors recently shared a video of the Chevy E-10 Concept hitting the public streets after its debut at last year’s SEMA Show. This video is part of the SEMA360 online exhibition, which was held in place of the in-person SEMA Show after it was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Chevy E-10 features a concept version of the Electric Connect and Cruise package that GM announced at SEMA360 this year. The concept powertrain consists of two Chevrolet Performance concept electric crate motors, two 400-volt 60 kWh lithium-ion batteries mounted in the bed and a conventional SuperMatic 4L75-E four-speed automatic transmission. GM estimates this dual-motor powertrain is good for up to 450 horsepower, giving the truck a 0 to 60 mph time of around 5 seconds. It can also complete the quarter-mile “in the high 13 second range,” under ideal conditions, the automaker says.
Chevrolet Performance presented the production version of this Electric Connect and Cruise package during SEMA360 this year. This eCrate package is essentially a plug-and-play version of the Chevy Bolt EV powertrain and uses a single 200 horsepower electric motor and 60 kWh battery. The automaker installed this package in an otherwise stock Chevy K5 Blazer for SEMA360, demonstrating how an eCrate package like this can be used to easily convert an old V8-powered classic like the Blazer into an earth-friendly EV.
Chevrolet Performance hopes to one day expand its line of eCrate offerings in the future by offering its Ultium Drive line of motors and modular Ultium battery system for sale through its catalog. The Ultium motors will be more powerful than the Chevy Bolt EV motor Chevrolet Performance currently offers, while the Ultium batteries have a higher energy density.
The future of the eCrate program is looking promising, but the Chevy E-10 concept was where this new Chevrolet Performance program truly began. Check out the video embedded below to see the unique concept show truck in action.

Haha! There’s nothing that drives me nuts more than someone driving alone in the fresh air wearing a muzzle (er, mask).
If he wants to do harm to his own body, by lowering the Oxygen content of his blood, and increasing harmful bacteria, well, its a free country (for a while longer I hope).
Biden says everyone has to wear a mask… (except him when the cameras get shut off) so I assume GM is showing us the Future of Driving – at least for the next 4 years.
Biden is NOT the president, he hadn’t done anything worthwhile in 47 years, why would he start now?, PRESIDENT TRUMP has done a whole kit for all ( yes the racist , (so called) for all no matter what you are ) he is a non lifelong politician, he can’t be bought like hunter Bunsen also compromising joe.
Celso
Whenever I bring up that slight detail that Trump is Pres for at least a bit longer, I get downvoted.
The video and article are about the E-10,stop bringing politics into it.Your guy lost,period.By January 20 you will be making it rain with your tears.That said a really cool truck,I love that series.The only thing negative that I can point to is that the bed with all the batteries is now irrelevant.I love the color also,I drive a Caterpillar 793D haul truck in an Arizona copper mine.Wth all the auto manufacturers going electric it looks like my job is more safe for years to come.
I try to fight this ridiculous ‘pseudo-health’ issue where ever I see it. GM of course will offend all of us who dislike this ‘group-think’ of Biden’s 24/7/365 dog muzzle / mask wearing.
To avoid offending the relatively rarefied few who actually fall for this stuff – I notice people under 30 are typically truly brainwashed. I for one, want to stay healthy, and therefore I don’t do things that would compromise my health, such as not being allowed to breathe fresh air.
I’m glad that you are happy that they are broadcasting far and wide that Biden won…. If he truly does in fact, then the one campaign promise he will keep is we will be entering a DARK WINTER, as he mentioned in the 2nd debate.
Unfortunately, he’ll lie about everything else.
I’m glad we’ll all have to endure continuous lockdowns, dog muzzles, forced vaccinations (with all kinds of nice new additives in them making them NICE AND STRONG – no matter what it does to the human host), in the Land of The Free and the Home of the Brave.
They already suck from many of us 50 % of our wages in total tax revenue – that used to be enough for them, but now they want physical conformity from the tax chattel.
Bill everything you wrote is ridiculous and moronic.Your guy has been tallied with over 25,000 lies in 4 years which is astonishing.If lockdowns take place(a few already) it is because of people like you who don’t respect this virus as a global threat.I have witnessed deniers of COVID19 spew out garbage like what you wrote only to get the virus afterwards.Chris Christie got it and spent a week in ICU and knows that it is not fake,a close adviser to the Big Orange Dummy who also got it.Wake up dude.
The Big Orange Dummy has been defeated,Trumpers no longer need to defend the lies and garbage and can wake up from their spell that was cast onto them by a lieing AHOLE.Of course shame and humility took place on November 3 for those who lost.I have to use my windshield wipers from all of your tears while driving.
