    But that doesn’t make anybody any money.

    Of course it does, there’s a shitload of parts that needs to be sourced, and most people will need someone to perform the conversion. There’s a substatial amount of money changing hands in that kind of rebuild.

    The bigger issue is getting the car approved for public roads after the rebuild. Depending on the country, that is nearly (if not entirely) impossible.

      I think it’s extremely unlikely. Very, very few modification shops make any money at all. Let alone on modifications that are prohibitively expensive and have an extremely niche market such as gas to EV conversions.
