Tesla Motors - High performance electric vehicles. Available now.
But, seriously... electric cars need to take hold in the mainstream market to be successful. The "tuner" crowd will start playing with them when they become readily available. Control system software hacks, wiring hacks, adding extra batteries, upgrading controllers and motors... all of those things will happen eventually. Think about how it happens in the gas-engine car world. Honda makes 10 different models of cars and their parts are interchangeable for the past 3 or 4 generations... when there are at least a FEW different electric vehicles available from the same manufacturer and those cars start showing up on the used market for cheap, and salvage parts start becoming available... look out.
