I don’t know. I’ve been looking at e-ab planes to purchase a lot lately and most of them are downright frightening. Seriously.

The kit sellers market the kits as "quick-build" and downplay the amount of skill required to properly build them, causing unqualified owners to buy them, and the result certainly can be frightening!

I've also seen completed kits that looked better than a factory plane, but they are in the minority for sure.

The smart ones have someone like fast stack do their wiring if they’re not really good at it (I am not good at it either)

I saw one guy that just stripped the wires and shoved them in the holes where the pins should go at the back of the tray.

Back to the OP's point, I looked into this issue many years ago, about taking a certified AC to Experimental, and was told something along the lines of there had to be at least a 50% change from the certified model. Apparently changing engine(s) is considered 50%. As I recall there were a few Turbine Bonanzas flying like this back in the day.
