I have recently seen this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4CPBHj0UQk a garage in California specialized in changing oldtimer engines to electric engines. They seem to be booked out months in advance.

Another company I have heard from is doing this specifically for supercars, so special Porsches etc.

I feel like both the margin and the clientele would be much more fun to deal with, as with this approach (as many have mentioned) the scaling will be the difficult part.
