[ausev] EV Electrical vulnerabilities, was Filmmaker looking...

Chris,
 I do think that an EV controller can be designed to have a replacement chip
pre-programmed and standing by in a sheilded case, or can be properly
remanufactured in far quicker "turnaround time" than what seems available
currently as you have advised.
  It is partly a matter of market size.  The other things that must be taken
into account is that all auto parts suppliers would POUNCE on any
opportunity to do business with outstanding professionals like you whom know
WHAT they need in the first place without undue risk of having a part
returned (unless truly defectively remanufactured).
 This is  because of  all the "swap testing and diagnostic experiments" or
emperically/historically-based ineffectual and usually INCOMPLETE "work"
which plagues the ICE-motoring public, which occur  from well-meaning
do-it-yourselfers, and insufficiently-trained others
whom  postpone (usually from economics), their professional advancement in
equipment and training, (or are led to buy the wrong equipment and/or
training).
There are 538,000 VERY DIFFERENT electronic integrated systems in ICE
vehicles today.  Just that sheer number of them vastly counters ANY argument
that gasoline-powered vehicle makers can claim, and they know this.  I
believe that they are changing as fast as they possibly can for their very
survival, but indeed, some of them may have waited too long to recover
market share.
