It would be interesting to see if this would be possible:
Not for an SUV, but maybe a smaller car. Keeping a normal engine in the vehicle, keeping it rear wheel drive. But having a front wheel drive electric drive system. You can drive the car as a normal ICEV. And make it so you can place the engine in neutral and use the electric system while letting the engine run as a generator for the battery.
Adding some cylinder deactivation in their would be cool too
