Gasoline is required to drive any non-electric car.
I'm conjecturing, but if you mean why an electric car rather than a ordinary gasoline powered car. Burning gasoline requires oxygen and there is none on the moon. Also, carrying gasoline in a spacecraft would be heavy and dangerous.

The best option is to buy a new electric car or get it professionally converted. Working with battery fluids can get dangerous and expensive. Keep the gasoline car to save the environment.
Motors A motor is a generic term for an engine. So yes they are the same thing. IMO, you have an electric motor or a gasoline engine.
None. It's electric, so it doesn't carry gasoline. None. It's electric, so it doesn't carry gasoline.
The "...convert a gas car to electric..." implies removal of the gasoline engine and replacing it with an electric motor, creating an all electric car. If on the other hand you intend to keep the gasoline engine and use it when the batteries are low, then you will have created a hybrid gasoline-electric vehicle. With that qualification, and the assumption that you meant a full conversion from gasoline to electric, then the answer to your question is that IF the gasoline engine is removed from service, then the computer "that controlled the gas engine and its components" is no longer necessary and can be removed also. Also, the portion of your question relating to the gasoline engine computer suggests your thinking that it could be reprogrammed somehow to control the electric motor. Since that computer is designed for and is dedicated to the gasoline engine, it cannot be be reprogrammed and used to control the electric motor(s).
As of 2011, there were 253,108,389 registered vehicle in the U.S. Although not broken down by gasoline and electric, most are gasoline powered.
The engine has to be running and warmed up for the heater to produce hot air. So yes, you need gasoline to get heat from your car (unless you have an electric car).
Your best bet would be to buy a gasoline-electric hybrid car, which, as it sounds, runs on batteries as well as gasoline. With a hybrid car, you won't have to compromise the amount of miles you can drive for the little-to-no emmissions you get from an electric car.
A hybrid car uses both electric and gasoline making it more fuel efficent.
