This is a serious problem in Europe. I just got back from visiting my
work's office in Munich, and they have to jump through some serious
hoops to get a car electrified in Germany.
Also, it really isn't possible to modify a car in Switzerland (worse
case) - they will force you to put on only certified parts or impound
the car. O_O

Homebrew conversions are going to have a great deal of attraction to them
for anybody who doesn't want some corporate beancounter somewhere telling
them what they can and can't do with an hunk of steel they just paid good
money for. My only fear is that the automakers might try to get legislation
passed that requires the original manufacturer to "certify" any such
conversion. Can you imagine having to get permission from GM to drive your
newly-electrified '57 Caddy?
