I’ve always wanted to do a full size truck conversion. My idea is to add an electric motor to the existing transfer case. The electric drive would then be blended through the accelerator pedal to assist with take-offs and low speed duties. The goal would be to have 100% electric around town, using fuel only on highway trips.

If I ever take this on I will use salvage Volt battery packs. Finding the ideal electric motor is proving the elusive part.
