GM tired this already and it was garbage.
Bolting a motor onto the engine to drive the crank lowered MPG on the cars they put it on.
Putting the electric motor between the gasoline engine and transmission like they did on hybrid trucks was so effective they eventually dropped the entire hybrid truck line after 3 or 4 years. In addition to the hybrid system the ecomodded* hybrid trucks got almost the same highway MPG as the non hybrid trucks. (they used a bed cover, grill shutters, bigger air dam, numerically lower rear gears, LRR tires to bring the highway MPGs lost because of the hybrid system back up to what the plane gas trucks were getting)
In this context ecomodded* means mostly simple dumb stuff you or I could do or have done to any vehicle. Not talking about the part where they designed and added all that hybrid stuff to the vehicle.
If you need more power, do what I did.
Roof top solar panels and MPPT charge controller.
You could have it done with in the next 2 weeks, do it for around $300 and it would actually work.
