Even if there were, these drivetrains are 400/800V systems chock filled with specialized electronics and ECU's, unlikely your joe blow mechanics or even mom and pop pro shops can do much with them without messing something up.

And they're not alone. More likely to pop up. I don't think it's that complicated. Electric motor, battery, power control. Not like you're managing stoichiometric ratios of air/fuel, computer controlled ignition (Motec?), dual plugging, head shaving, intake charge theory, exhaust tuning, oiling, cooling, boat-tailing, shuffle-pinning, counterbalancing, porting, polishing, etc. etc.
Look, I'm not going to abandon all my hard-earned motoring treasures. I'm just trying to reconcile them with the future. Hopefully avoid obsolescence by making them future-proof. Maybe even get a modern electric for the wife and kids someday in the future.
