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.
I've always thought that if someone invented an electric drop-in small block it might actually save the hobby. And if you don't like electric, hey, more gas for the rest of us.
