One idea I had once was to bolt a sprocket to each of the CV axle flanges coming out of the transaxle and to hook up two small electric motors, one to each chain drive to each sprocket. Is finding the room to do that that's the hard part. Also the motors would be always connected, which would not be ideal for long distance cruising but would double as a hybrid system if it has regenerative braking.
