I had a thought and I wanted to see if anyone thought it was feasible. I have a 1993 extended cab ranger 5 speed 4.0 2wd and I want to eventually make it the ultimate roadtrip vehicle. The part I'm wondering about is possibly making it a hybrid. I've built a few muscle cars but never anything electric. My thought was to put an electric motor on the driveshaft (my truck can be dinghy towed according to ford) and just drive with it with the engine off until the batteries need recharged, then start the truck and drive it to use the electric motor to then recharge the batteries. I know theres a lot more to it then this, it's just a simple explanation of the idea. If I had about a 50 mile range then I could drive to and from work for a couple of days on a single charge and use no gas, then on long trips alternate between gas engine and electric to decrease fuel use. Just wanted to get thoughts on feasibility of doing it, I know it wouldn't be cheap, but it's still cheaper than buying new.
