Electric motor fuel pumps simply cannot scale any larger than they already are on the Electron craft. Rocket labs is not going to be taking any of SpaceX's profitable marketshare.

I wouldn't be surprised if they start working on an expander cycle engine while keeping the electrics as a starter/regulator.
