BISIMOTO'S BISI EZERIOHA ON HIS BIG EV REVELATION, MOBY X, EV TUNING, & TESLA PROJECTS | MOTORTREND

EV Channels Review

Bisimoto's Bisi Ezerioha shares a compelling journey from EV skeptic to enthusiast, detailing his "come to Jesus" moment at CES 2018. Initially dismissive of electric vehicles as soulless, Ezerioha's perspective shifted dramatically after experiencing the performance and engineering of EVs firsthand. The conversation highlights his personal EV conversion project, a 935 tribute dubbed the K3V, which he begrudgingly built but was ultimately captivated by its intoxicating acceleration and unique driving connection. He contrasts the high cost and complexity of his past drag racing builds with the accessibility of modern performance EVs like the Tesla Model S Plaid, which he likens to his drag car. Ezerioha emphasizes that performance EVs offer a visceral, engaging driving experience, debunking the "no soul" myth for those who have experienced them, and notes a surprising connection to the tarmac that petrol engines seemed to dampen. The review also touches on the burgeoning EV aftermarket and the challenges of tuning in the "wild west" of EV modification.
