Mechanically it's closer to upgrading your car stereo or lighting than installing a procharger. Cars have been running off 12V DC forever so people with any inclination for messing with electric components will be right at home with it.

I hear you, but these EV systems are 400V and 800V, one misstep and you are dead. This is actually another reason why modifying mass manufactured EV's or building anything other than the most rudimentary DIY electric car will be rather challenging, along with the previous argument about encryption in control electronics and modules.
