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.

      Mr fusion is the dream, maybe someday.

      Hand-wound motors sounds intriguing. Is this something that could be done in a garage? Does it take a very long time? Sounds expensive.

      I definitely agree that swapping in new battery chemistry will be a thing. The same power out of a smaller pack would make a lot of difference. Even having the same size/weight but higher output would be worth something.

        Electric motors have “windings” coils of wire wound around a metal core that generate a magnetic field when you run a current through them, and that field makes the motor spin (super simplified explanation of course)

        So that’s probably what they’re referring to.
