It's not going to happen. Hydrogen and fuel cells, as well as other engine mechanical configurations are far more promising than electric output alone.

His setup, I don't know, but all in all its not that expensive and people have been doing it for a while now. The motors are not expensive, but the inverter/controller, batteries, fabrication for battery racks, etc, can add up quickly. The lighter the car the smaller the motor you can purchase and the fewer batteries necessary.

I wonder how different the driving experience is.

Who knows, maybe someday we'll all go from upgrading turbos to upgrading capacitors for real.
