On this week’s Plugged In podcast episode we’re heading to the race track to find out how speed shops are turning electric vehicles into sport racers.

Story continues below

Our guest is Sasha Anis, who for the past four years has been developing, designing and making all kinds of aftermarket equipment for a growing number of Tesla racing enthusiasts in Canada. Through trial and tribulation, the accomplished race car driver and race team manager,  has developed a wide range of suspension, brakes and cooling systems that he sells and services out of his Mountain Pass Performance shop in King, Ontario, just north of Toronto.

He’s also built some monstrous EV project cars, including a 700-horsepower hybrid-electric Nissan 350Z.
