Have to wonder what components. This platform looks too small for even the Bolt EV components.

The American automaker will supply various EV components to Volcon through this new partnership, including motors, high voltage power distribution modules, motor inverters, onboard charging modules, DC to DC converters, EV control modules, torque controls, battery high voltage connectors and battery cooling reservoirs, among more.

Also supplying battery modules.

Basically what GM is providing in the E-Crate for custom builds.

Pic below shows a cutout of the vehicle. The battery tray looks like the Bolts with a new custom lid cause it doesn't have the double stack in the rear. (Front for this vehicle as the pack is put in reverse from the Bolt)

GM's E-crate (at least what was published 2 years ago) uses a Bolt motor/inverter and other Bolt components (probably HVDC distribution module, DC-DC module, 7.2 kW on-board charge module, charge port, etc.). The Volcon battery pack case also looks like a slimmed-down Bolt pack without the Bolt's 2nd-tier module. Note the Bolt-style sloped case top/bottom interface + pack mounting flanges.

The Volcon article also mentioned the possibility of AWD. That would likely mean adding GM's Ultium-based AWD-assist drive unit to the front - a small induction motor/inverter unit with coaxial gear box.
