EVs at LeMons Races

How long will it be before there are commonly EVs at LeMons? Even winning?

This article from the NYT on Sept 3 discusses EVs at LeMons and the EVWest "electraliner" record setting run at Bonneville recently. It is a good story. Example: "Mr. Hilleman won a Lemons event in 2017 in a 10-year-old Prius hybrid. “There is no enjoyment in life greater than passing a Mustang on the outside of the carousel at Sears Point in a Prius,” he said."

The article notes the challenges and discusses some of the rules, technology, and prospects for EVs at LeMons events:

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
