Electric Turbocharges headed to production. Why didn't I think of that?

If they had a Fit Si I would be driving one of those.

It actually looks like the early 2000’s version of that gen Si

A 2-door Fit Si would indeed be cool and a good addition to their lineup.

Electric is the future. Little different since this is about an electric turbo charger but I was sitting inside of a Tesla yesterday and wow man those things are pretty nice. I actually am doing a test drive later today for the model 3 I want to get a feel for it since the performance version is in the same price range as alot of other cars I am looking to upgrade too so I figured I would check it out.

Here in the Bay Area where I live more than a quarter of the cars are electric, and we have the biggest concentration of Tesla's, you see one or two Tesla's every 5 minutes of driving. Electric cars make total sense, at least here. We have charging stations everywhere, and most companies in the Bay area have them for their employees. They don't pollute as much, they are quiet, and most now have very long ranges. They have also become very cheap to lease, with no maintenance are cheap to own. If I had a long commute, 100 percent I would lease something like the Nissan leaf

I very much enjoyed the ride when I test drove it, actually it surprised me because I liked it more then I thought I would and was also surprised with how fast those things are its mind blowing.
