A big problem with that idea is, first, everything on the car is often worn out by the time the engine is done for, and if you use a new vehicle, you're buying a whole drive train for no good reason.

Second is, older vehicles are often less safe, and outdated in terms of the technology on board.

Valid points. My brain is placing this supposed electric conversion time period during the same time as everyone was dropping an LS in all the things, so I remember feeling why can't we electrify the things instead.
