Electric repower of classic cars is a thing. VW Beetles and Mustangs are popular targets. I've also seen everything from a 2CV to a Jaguar MK IV. It's just a charger, an inverter, battery, and drive unit (motor). Apparently the electric brake assist off the prius is plug and play due to how failover mode works when disconnected from a main computer. I suspect a lot of older cars will end up repowered by an electric motor simply because people love the car, not the engine, nor the endless tinkering to keep it running acceptably, and all the oil and grease involved.
