WIth more electric car choices than ever before, those looking for a new electric car have plenty of different models to choose from.

But for classic car and hot rod fans who don't want a brand-new car, the choices for converting their rides to electric are limited to paying someone a lot of money for a custom conversion; doing a completely-DIY conversion using off-the-shelf components; or using salvage EV components and Open-Source conversion techniques.

But in recent years we've seen another option: electric car crate kits from mainstream automakers.

GM is the latest to consider such a thing with the K5 Blazer-E show car (as designed for SEMA360 this year). But while the crate kit sounds good on paper, the actual execution of this conversion leaves us cold.

Here's why.
