Buying a well-used small Honda, Toyota, or similar is going to cost you a heck of a lot less than trying to develop this sort of hybrid system. (As has been noted, you can't put that much power through a standard V-belt, for one.) If you really want ROI, drive the car all the time, except when you actually need to haul or tow something.
