Any one else kind of excited/interested in how the car tuning scene (and SEMA) will evolve in the future as electric cars potentially become more common?
Whereas today people have dreams of grandeur about putting turbochargers onto their grocery-getters, perhaps in the future people will dream of adding aftermarket KERS systems to give their electric econobox more punch when passing or in the quarter mile?
It will also be interesting to see how tuners balance short-burst sprinting power against long-distance viability, since it is difficult to achieve good range without adding heavy storage systems for additional juice, or similarly reducing range while increasing power by over-tapping the electrical supply.
Anyone else ponder what sort of changes we might potentially see in the next 10, 20, 30+ years?
