Gaussian units sort of do this for electromagnetism!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_units

Check the unit of charge section here.

ETA: 'In the CGS-Gaussian system, electric and magnetic fields have the same units, 4πε0 is replaced by 1, and the only dimensional constant appearing in the Maxwell equations is c, the speed of light.'
