Matthias Winkelmann's company decided to go the ole' outsourcing route and hand off all development work for a fixed-bid project to a certain overseas company. As it turned out, the hourly rate for certain overseas programmers were less than half that of the in-house folks, so management did the math and figured they could profit that much more. The in-house programmers were told to spend "only a little bit of time" on the project -- no technical advice, no coding assistance, and no even lookin

As exciting as it is to see how electric technology redefines automotive transportation, it’s just as exciting to see how it alters what we already have. In the aftermarket, EV-converted restomods are quickly becoming big business. But direct from manufacturers, there’s great potential in electrifying legacy badges by seamlessly blending old design with new technology.
