Hybrid AWD conversion

I'm looking a little into doing a hybrid-conversion.
This isn't realy anything serious yet, but I was thinking a little about it.
My car has no engine or gearbox up front and just enough space below the "frunk" to add some driveshafts and a small electric motor or two.
The big question would be how to run driveshafts from the hubs to the motors as I don't think my front hubs are meant to have driveshafts.
On the other hand it isn't unlikely Toyota has used pre-existing hubs upfront or there might be compatible ones that could fit.
Besides, a little performance increase would undoubtly be fun and I've got an 11 kW outlet at home.
