I think i saw someone say in the US a "commercial small truck" is exempt from various regulations (efficiency /pollution or something ) that apply to "cars", so end up more expensive for that too.

wtf, financial success?

Not sure i know what that is, but it seems a pretty depressing goal to have.
Could be worse though.

i think they don't want to run high current through motors, as that means thick wires, and a much bigger armature and overall motor.

its the current that generates the heat and needs beefy connectors and wires.

There's plenty of mass produced mains rated motors, like most domestic floor / desk / ceiling fans vaccuum cleaners and so on.

a commercial controller like this: quite expensive, and way over-rated i think.

cheap ebay equivalent - not sure i'd trust such a thing in my house if used long-term.

sorry for UK / 240v links - similar stuff for North America/ 120V - will be available and probably cheaper i'd guess.

they'd be pretty simple to wire in following the data sheets.

as others have said, you can snip the connector - leaving plenty of wire each side of the snip - and splice in longer wires to reach the controller, maybe use wago lever connectors for easy modifications later if needed.

yeah night of the living dead didn't need zombies, just some external threat to drive the drama between the characters.

aliens, plague, robots, wild animals, dinosaurs , goblins, fairies , and apparently seagulls can all do similar thing

This datasheet suggests 1.3 amps at 120V 60hz
for <100W power so pretty much any 2A+ mains rated switch should be okay,
the 6A one linked above should be fine.

You could get a mans rated relay with a low voltage control switch for now,
Then add an arduino or something if you feel like a bit more control, and a bit more diy and don't want to go down the mobile phone/ bluetooth/ techpocalypse road.

also non pro - but maybe that's all you get on a diy forum.

same one's that say "ess queue elle" when they mean squirrel probably.

a couple of raspberry pies in there too

Like in Spain with much smaller economy and almost 4 thousand km - admittedly they started back in the 1990s I think.
