Why don't you start by naming JUST ONE that replaced an ICE with an
electric.


Somehow I failed to post this earlier:
Patrick McLaughlin designed/built/debugged/delivered an electric
self-launch version of the Sparrowhawk some years ago (called the Owl).
Not a ICE replacement, but a scratch-built pylon electric
self-launcher. Of course he's a bit more capable than most of us ;-)


I did not know that. Is it documented somewhere accessible?


Probably in the "Complete guide to self-launch sailplanes" or somewhere...
