I am afraid I don't understand your statement. The technology is here. There were folks throwing electric motors and 8-D batteries in Pintos and Vegas the 1970's. Today people are wrecking thousands of Teslas and Prious' every day. It's way better technology and easy to get.
Ten years ago (pre- hybrid car) I was at the local drag strip and saw 30 plus converted electric vehicles racing. I'd wager that today there would be 3 times that many converted vehicles there. If you do an interweb search for how to make and electric car you will have several days of reading.
I am pretty sure there are no subsidies for the folks who modify a vehicle to replace the IC engine with an electrical motor.
