Specifically ev, and specifically aftermarket modifications. Whether it’s a custom shop offering a package that you could have installed, or a backyard tinkerer coming up with a new trick to make their EV ratrod faster, what do you think will be done in the future that hasn’t been done yet?
I think full dashboard replacement to have physical buttons and switches instead of the giant control screens will be a thing for customers with deep pockets.
I do think that over volting motors will be a popular modification. Quick, possibly cheap, makes the car faster.
I wonder if the people with money to swap the battery for higher performance would go ahead and swap the motor(s) to match?
Motors will be more popular to swap as most vehicles use the batteries as part of the sub frame and there’s less of a risk of fire if the BMS or charging circuit does not agree.
Electric motors are also easy to obtain as they are used in applications outside of vehicles meaning the only difficult part are mounting, cooling, and geting the motor talking to the car’s controller (there are aftermarket controllers for tesla motors already available)
Oh yeah, I forgot how integrated the battery packs are getting.
I don’t think it would stop someone with a hot rodders mindset, but it would give some pause because of how much integrated batteries raise the price and risks of swapping them out.
