Listening to the radio while cleaning the venetian blind slats in the conservatory (now there's a soul destroying job...) I heard an ad for the new electric Corsa and got nostalgic over the old Chevette and particularly the 2300 HS.

Thinking on, it occurred to me that with ICE cars you know if they're a bit special if they have a turbo, supercharger, V12 block, nitro, overhead camshafts, trick exhaust, chipped ECU, fuel injection, etc, etc but how does that work with EV's? Apart from kW and torque ratings how do you (and others) know if you've got something with a bit of oomph under the bonnet? What aftermarket goodies are likely to be available to boost performance?
