His point is that there might be 100 people tops that would actually use it to its potential right now. That isn't enough to develop a new controller. If I made ESCs I wouldn't spend the time on a HV car controller yet, the market isn't there.
Well they wouldn't need to develop a new controller. Just put some decent heatsinks on the one they have and add braking capability to the firmware and such. That's pretty much it. In the event they didn't sell loads of them they could just convert them back into boat controllers. I see no reason not to make a car version.
