I see what you mean, but that is not always going to be a good idea as electric cars is more than a change of motor.

Much more aerodynamic, lighter, different frames for lower centre of gravity, different controls, dashboards, etc. (I am not a car designer). So a car designed from scratch will complete these much better than a simple conversion.

OK, but BEVs are heavier than gas-powered cars because of the the battery is heavy.
