Default Hop up parts for electric cars?

In the 60's and 70's, you added the holley, high rise (intake manifold) and headers to your car to outrun your buddies. Is there any equivalent to these hop up parts for e cars?

Light weight parts always improve power/weight ratio.

Aftermarket engine controllers will function like today's performance chips for ICEs.

Capacitor kits may provide a short term boost, similar to a shot of nitrous oxide.

It would be nice if there was a performance upgrade for an e car that provided the visual impact of a supercharger rising above the hood.
