Muscle cars have been dead for nearly half a century. But for performance cars in general, you'll still be able to take an EV out to the strip for the weekly test & tune. Or out for an early Saturday morning cruise on a summer day. And even do some hot laps at a road course, so long as its a car designed to be run on a track (which applies to every car, whether its powered by electrons or gasoline). There are even ways to tinker with and upgrade an electric powertrain.



About the hardest thing thats part of 'car culture' to do with current EV technology would be a mass a road trip to an event like CamaroFest. Its simply not yet possible to charge a 20 cars travelling together quickly. But that won't necessarily be an issue in a couple decades. Maybe because fast charging becomes ubiquitous, maybe because there is a breakthrough in storage density, maybe because we've figured how to make hydrogen work. Could be some other reason too.



There is a big difference between not being able to do something today, and not being able to do it 25 years from now.

Maybe in Canada.... But not here in the USA.
Muscle car is an American term for high-performance cars, usually rear-wheel drive and fitted with a large and powerful V8 engine. The term originated for 1960s and early 1970s special editions of mass-production cars which were designed for drag racing. They have never stopped making them.
And as for electric/battery power no emissions is a load of bs and again a tree hugger's fantasy.
Yet the “zero emissions” claim grates on some experts, who have continued to argue over whether electric cars are really more environmentally friendly than gas guzzlers, once the manufacturing process for the vehicles and their batteries are taken into account.
Electric cars rely on regular charging from the local electricity network. The power plants providing that energy aren’t emission-free; even in California,*60% of electricity*came from burning fossil fuels in 2015, while solar and wind together made up less than 14%
