i think a cheaper way would be to add a electric motor to the car (let's say attach the motor to a rear wheel of a front wheel drive car, or to a driveshaft on a RWD car.) so use the gas motor for acceleration and high speeds but turn off the motor at low speeds when you can engage the electric motor. It's an idea but it would be much cheaper than converting the whole car to electric
