Compare to the Lexus motor I have now, 98lb and 68hp (I believe that's 50kW). That's less than the weight of the transmission, let alone the motor. The weight is gained back in the battery pack.

I watched it again. VW has partnered with eClassics, and the controller and charger occupy the space where the inside package shelf was. It's a heavily modified chassis and lightly modified body, not a bolt-in like EVWest does.
