so if i did the plug-in ICE\electric

where to put the gen\motor with the stock drive system.
i don't think being mounted to the belts would do much good.....
nore do i think there's space to mount it to the front of the engine crank. i don't even know how that could be done and keep the engine from vibrating its self apart.
all the drive lines are real short......like under 3' or less

maybe from the trans to T-case space, that's about the straightest drive line.
but to do that, ICE power would be going though it.

to make it even feasible i figure a lot of BATs are still needed. like over 20 of them....
