If it is capable of higher speeds, and the vehicle is already registered in Ontario, then I imagine the only requirements is that the vehicle pass a safety inspection and then to go down to a Driver and Vehicle Licence Issuing Office in order to inform them of the change of fuel source.
You one REALLY big problem is trying to find someone to insure the vehicle. Private insurers are very reluctant to insure modified vehicles, therefore you may be forced to insure the vehicle with a non-standard insurer which means you’ll be paying more for insurance than the original version of the vehicle you are converting.

As you know, some electrical vehicles, generally, has a lower max speed than most cars. In this case, it will be illegal to operate on certain roads and highways. So yes.
