Of course people will be modding their ride, however the low hanging fruit is already plucked in EV's and your control.over parameters is dependent on your interest.

But that's the kind of thing that takes away from the customizability and "fun" in that aspect. An ICE you can add a header, a turbo, an intake, even without opening the engine. Even just a muffler swap can make it different.
On an EV you can't do much without getting into very deep stuff. So your EV ends up being the exact same as someone else's.
