Quite frankly - if performance was on par with say an RXT, that would be a great selling point for me. Love how the newer Volvo engines in boats (Cobalt for example) have a winterize push button on them. Have been waiting to see if that gets introduced by Yamaha or Seadoo and have heard nothing but crickets...
If they are anything like electric cars, should be better performance and zero winterization. On performance--torque on an electric vehicle is instantaneous--you do not have to spool up the engine to reach full power. This is why large Tesla sedans are often quicker than Porsches and muscle cars. On maintenance--there are no fluids, thus nothing to drain, change, etc.
