AutoExec Summary
At the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas, Chevrolet unveiled a retro concept pick-up truck with an electric twist. Known for its radical concept cars and aftermarket components, the SEMA show attracts manufacturers trying to appeal to car modifiers. The Chevrolet E-10 Concept is based on a 1962 C-10 pick-up but replaces the original V8 engine with two electric motors and batteries. The exterior remains unchanged, but the vehicle relies solely on electricity for propulsion. General Motors sees the electric conversion as a popular choice for performance enthusiasts, but there are compromises, such as the tray being filled with batteries, rendering it useless as a pick-up truck.
