I'm looking at other options, now. What I'm thinking is to put 4x4 style front hubs on my truck. The 4x4 hubs will allow me to transfer torque to and from the front wheels with a splined shaft. Just like a 4x4 truck would.
I could apply torque to the front wheels with CV axles and stubs that are driving/being driven by a motor.

That would be better for regenerative braking. Thats why i like this idea better than the e-charger mild hybrid. Its all about regenerative braking and being able to use that energy to reduce load on the engine (keeping it in V4 mode with energy that would've otherwise been wasted)
