An all-electric Plymouth? Stellantis teases new EV conversion kit and more

Is Plymouth due for an electric revival? Not exactly. But you may have the opportunity to convert one for yourself soon. Stellantis gave us a sneak peek with the 1967 Plymouth GTX Electromod concept.

Stellantis teases electric Plymouth GTX Electromod

Mopar supplies Dodge, Jeep, Chrysler, Ram, and other Stellantis-owned brands with parts and accessories.

Although best known for its custom crate engines, Mopar’s latest concept offers a sneak peek into an electrifying future.

Mopar’s E-Crate powertrain kit brings the 1967 Plymouth GTX Electromod to life. The system includes a single front electric motor with roughly 335 hp, while torque to the rear wheels runs through a 3:1 gear reducer.

Powered by four battery packs, the electric Plymouth is rated at 73 kWh total, which is good for an expected 250-mile driving range.

A carbon-fiber hood covers the 400V, 250 kW EDM attached to the frame with isolated motor mounts. The custom hood includes functioning dual air extractors with Satin Black stripes, a tribute to the original Plymouth GTX.

Meanwhile, the classic Mopar flip-top fuel caps from the 1960s and 1970s have been modified to function as a charging port.

Around the e-Crate kit are specially crafted carbon-fiber fender aprons, firewall, and radiator plenum closeout.

Inside, the electric Plymouth Electromod is fine-tuned with custom gauges, a modern three-spoke steering wheel, and Mopar stainless steel pedal covers.

The back seats are modified from the Jeep Wrangler, while the Mopar team installed IndiGo Blue 3-point seat belts and matching lap belts for rear passengers.

Mopar’s new E-Crate system offers a glimpse of upcoming tech for enthusiasts to build or convert classic and current cars (or trucks) into EVs.

Stellantis also teased a Mopar “Power Couple,” hinting at upcoming performance versions of the Dodge Charger Daytona SRT EV and Ram 1500 electric truck.

Both concepts are shown with matching metallic blue and dual white racing stripes. On the back of the electric Dodge Charger, you can see the EV features an “SRT” license plate with Mopar badging.
