Hopefully we will get to a point where we have an LSx of electrical drivetrain. Something that is cheap, powerful, ubiquitous, and easy to install.

Right now though we have some disappointing (from a power perspective) electric drivetrains from Prius' that can be swapped or a powerful but DRM'd Tesla drivetrain that is more work than it's worth.

Well until someone builds millions of pickups and vans with the same EV drivetrain we're not gonna have an LS of EVs. The reason people like the LS is because it's everywhere and cheap. Everything else follows that.
