seriously look into ABB controls. I use VFDs daily for controling drilling rig equipment. we use a joystick to control speed and it is fast as you want to program it within the limitations of the motors.
I just want to say this is my first EV. I always loved the MS and I am a speed junky. I own a Nissan GTR and a turbo'd 370Z. Track them often. What i hated most about EVs is all the news stories about how they will save the world and the SJWs thay tell me my gas car is evil.
For me I like...
