I dunno... there's a lot of stuff that could be cut out of cars if they were electric drive... electric motors can have lots of low end torque, so simple or no transmission, no exhaust system to rust out in a couple years (I live in the salt belt)... lots of other stuff also... people who do conversions claim very high reliability, but of course they are somewhat biased...
the batteries are the weak point... but even Prius batteries seem to be lasting fairly well...
I think as battery other EV tech matures, they will be the simpler, more reliable way to go... but my bias is ee not mech eng... so ymmv...
