The most realistic approach by now is Volvo's PowerPulse system fitted to some of its Diesel engines, which resembles the air-starters fitted to most commercial jet aircraft. But anyway, if I would ever consider enabling electric drive on a turbocharger, I'd be mostly inclined to have some sort of starter-generator coupled to the central section of the shaft like it's done with the generators and other accessories of a modern aircraft engine.
