It must be an issue for most companies at the moment. Just about anyone looking at starting a build at the moment would need to be considering this outcome and the future registration problems. Locally it is already hard enough to get full registration.
the state of Victoria in Australia does allow for club permits and limited use of historical vehicles, so I would hope that this says the same. They are allowed to have 90 days use per year, so they are not full/daily use items. The vehicles have to be 25 years old or a replica of a car 25 years old. I think there is about 100,000 vehicles on the scheme at the moment. with the permit costing $100 to $150 (cant remember the exact amount). This is an additional $10 million dollars into the governments pockets. It also provides another option for vehicles that have a greater range than what the current modern electric vehicles have, so makes for an alternative. By 2030, a 25 year old car would be a 2005 model and that is BMW E60 M5 territory, which would make for a cracking long distance tourer. This may be an alternative that the local car clubs could push with the authorities. An alternative vehicle with a cheaper registration may be something favorable and encourage the uptake of EV's
As for the EV install in a kit car, there is an Superlight coupe here somewhere that has dual Tesla motors mounted in the back cradle with locked Diffs. Each motor drives a single rear wheel. Certainly an interesting drive train with lots of performance.
An EV drive line could be a standard bolt in bolt out drive line, so it may be possible to install a ICE for track use and other events.
