Hybrids are very complicated mechanically, I’m not surprised hybrid conversions aren’t a thing.
EV conversions do exist, it’s just that they’re too expensive to be worthwhile. You mostly only see classic cars converted.
You pay $20,000 for the hardware, another $15,000 for mechanics to spend a week gutting and rebuilding your car and wind up with a car with a worn interior, suspension, steering, etc, no modern features and a short range for more than the price of a brand new long range EV.
If you want an EV, you’re much better off selling your car and buying a used EV.

They are available in other markets, but due to factors like the cost of labour in Australia, the cost of importing to Australia and the all investment capital is being tied up in property makes it unfeasible as a business.
Also the Right-Wing nut bags who are likely to firebomb any business that doesn’t align with the political views that are feed to them through corporate astroturf campaigns doesn’t help either.
