Extrude hone, now we're talkin'.

The video and article came out in 2012 so I am not sure how this product has come along in five/six years.

Did you notice he mentioned a lug-nut mounted version. That was their earlier version that mounted outboard to the wheel. It had a lever arm the was screwed to the rocker panel with self taping screws. This version is 'wrapped around the brakes', but I'm not seeing it. And they never show the wheel installed so you see the increased track.

Well, I need to work with what is possible and easy to modify versus trying to pay a custom shop to build me something entirely brand new!
This kit would open the doors into a new possibility with my car.

This kit is essentially paying to have a [University] custom shop build you something entirely new. The good news is that you are accepting the idea of a hybrid. This would be classified as a through-the-road hybrid (with independent drive systems), rather than series or parallel. But your contemplating custom parts, not OEM. $$$
It is a polyphase DC VFD motor, but the those are subject to back-EMF that limits high rpm performance. Toyota HSD uses permanent magnets buried in the rotor to overcome this.
