And they're not alone. More likely to pop up. I don't think it's that complicated. Electric motor, battery, power control. |
Let's see if they and others develop something better than a souped up golf kart or one off racer. Battery longevity, thermal management, regeneration control etc are all system performance concerns managed by specialized software. The super HP and torque is no good if it kills the battery or power inverters shortly for example. Even Tesla had problems with their cars running full on for extended periods of time.

Not like you're managing stoichiometric ratios of air/fuel, computer controlled ignition (Motec?), dual plugging, head shaving, intake charge theory, exhaust tuning, oiling, cooling, boat-tailing, shuffle-pinning, counterbalancing, porting, polishing, etc. etc.
Look, I'm not going to abandon all my hard-earned motoring treasures. I'm just trying to reconcile them with the future. Hopefully avoid obsolescence by making them future-proof. Maybe even get a modern electric for the wife and kids someday in the future.

Not saying it can't be done but there's a crapload of system software written to run these cars and I just don't see that complexity mastered by a small time shop.
