If this comes through it may boost performance to have a turbocharger for better forced air intake.

Or with a tank of pure oxygen, have the EV act like it was gasoline engine on nitrous oxide.

Somebody should calculate a ballpark figure for the number of grams or kilos of oxygen that would be needed per mile for an average vehicle.

Transmission makers (ZK), turbocharger makers, who else are going to survive EV migration?

No it won't. At most, the battery might need a small fan. Turbochargers are needed for regular cars because internal combustion engines just suck.

They suck air just fine even without the turbocharger.
