Can electric cars be modified?
I’m a big fan of customizing my cars, but I’ve been thinking about finally switching over to electric. Will I still be able to mod my car as I have in the past?

While it may be more difficult to
modify
an electric car
than a gas-powered car, it’s absolutely possible in the hands of an experienced mechanic. If the modifications you’re interested in are cosmetic such as paint, upholstery, or window tinting, then there will be virtually no difference in difficulty. For hardware modifications, the stakes are a bit higher.
As electric cars become more mainstream, the possibility for specializations will become more accessible as well. Here are a few possible components that could be customized on your new electric car:
- Battery: The battery dictates the range and performance of the car, so upgrading to a higher-performance battery can give you more speed and power.
- **Tires:**Tires can be customized depending on if you’re looking to improve your car’s range, handling, or speed.
- Inverters: Your inverter will be fixed to the recommended optimum shift speed as determined by the manufacturer, but technicians can reprogram the settings of your inverter to increase motor power.
