An electric vehicle doesn't need the same horsepower as an internal combustion engine for the same performance; in some modern high-performance electric cars, they get by with about half the rated horsepower of an internal combustion-engined car.

For example:

and:

"Remember, the Tesla Roadster S is about as fast as a Corvette Z06 with almost half its horsepower."

So I don't think the correct "conversion" (for identical performance) is to swap in an electric motor of the same horsepower.
