I think there will be a mix of people keeping their old electric cars stock and people who upgrade them, but the temptation to upgrade is always there, that is what I've done with my Commuti-car, even tho I want to keep it close to stock for car shows, I still upgrade stuff when it clearly improves the function of the vehicle, but only time will tell what kind of improvements can and will be done to a Nissan Leaf, my guess is there will be people modifying the body for lower drag and adding more batteries for longer range, but it's also a station wagon, so how many people are going to invest to much time or money in to it?

But I think there will always be people who want to restore a vehicle no mater what it is.
