Electric vehicles (at least, _todays_ electric vehicles) are eminently hackable.
The people over at openinverter.org are doing amazing work implementing open source controller boards for OEM inverters.
Sure, a lot of ICE-based skill sets are going to become obsolete. But, as things stand now, if you have solid CAN sniffing skills and can code C++ (I can’t), you can make Leaf, Tesla, Prius, Mitsubishi or (soon) BMW components do your bidding.
The real risk is if OEMs adopt an obfuscatory stance and start locking people out of CAN networks. But I haven’t heard of that happening yet.
