If you can do basic electrical wiring, you may still need to get a permit and have the change inspected. What exactly is needed is highly jurisdiction dependent.

If you are not handy, it requires hiring an electrician to make the change (~$100-500)

Spending $500 on an electrician for a $50–80k car doesn't sound like lock-in to me…

That's a decent amount of money, but it's not that much compared to the cost of an electric vehicle.
