Is there a way to redesign these Chinese speedometers and assign new canbus IDs?

yes, I'm currently experimenting with that, boot times are just not particularly good, I'm trying to get to grips with it so that I can maybe get something done with buildroot on rpi4, but it's all new territory for me

What about something like this?
https://aicontrols.co.nz/rd1-canbus-dash/
It's a bit cheaper than most of the aftermarket dashes and would need to be reconfigured for ev usage, but might be easier than making your own from scratch. There is a raspberry pi dash out there as well and it takes ages to boot up.

You could try a m.2 hat for the Pi, would help alot with boot times. Especially on a Pi5.

Nice

What hardware is this? How long does it boot?

RPi3b + Realdash = about 10sec boot
