Good discussion here.
I have wanted to do this in my van for a while but it's too big a project for me. Fun to read all the ideas though.
The only "simple option" for me is to install an electric motor inline with my accessory drive shaft which comes off the front of my motor and therefore could only be an assist motor with possible partial regen braking.
Motor control would be the biggest obstacle in my mind. Would have to have a brake switched disable or regen and some sort of proportional power control. Possible with some electronics smoke and mirrors. Possibly a pot in parallel with the throttle?
Simple method could be series parallel contactors for voltage power control and use it only for set conditions.
