I've thought about something like this for my Civic Wagon. There was an AWD option, so adding the rear drive would be easy. Having an EV mode and assist climbing hills would be great. And I'd likely never get stuck in snow again! But the extra drag of the system (CV axles, differential) would surely hurt my highway MPG.
