It's like carmakers didn't think of what people might want to do with their cars--engine, gearbox, exhaust, filters, fuel tanks--they're all just lumps of metal getting in the way of a proper powertrain. Home-converting a car to electric power would be so easy were it not for all those inconvenient drivetrain parts you have to remove.
