That would be similar to the setup used in the Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4, and the Citroën DS5 Hybrid4 which is the current Presidential Car in France. Anyway, another interesting layout as a challenge would be some
hub-motors.
Anyway, instead of just converting a random used car to all-electric I'd consider to bolt a portable genset making it a parallel-hybrid, then it won't be so compromised mileage-wise (and you could still use it at home in case of power shortage).
