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).

What property of the materials used in computer chips makes them useful as switches that turn electric current on and off?

They are semiconductors and their electrical properties can be very precisely controlled by adding dopant impurities to create a wide variety of components integrated into one chip. Transistors of various types created by this doping process can act as switches or amplifiers depending on the other components integrated around them and connected to them.
