you already have the technology
The rear brakes in the average car only do 10% of the stopping.
Your car is front wheel drive.
convert the rear wheels brake drums to electric motors.
connect them to a battery bank.
add controls as necessary, because,
When you want to drive on electric you switch on the rear drive and go while allowing the front to stay in neutral.
when you are in gas mode you use the rear wheel as regnerative brakes slowing the car and filling the batteries.
have the rear motors hooked to the brake pedal so they always come on as you stop.
Some of the first cars on the road (circa 1900's) were electric.
I read an article once that said around 1910 half the cars were Electric and half were ICE.
Many of the electrics at that time used one motor at each wheel and had better pickup than their ICE counterparts.
Oh if only the world had gone a different route we wouldn't be having these discussions today.
Thats my rant for the day.
