Wouldn't it be more reasonable to drive the normaly non driven wheels with the electric motor instead?
In normal traffic you shouldn't usualy require so much power that the ECU goes into open loop anyway (unless you live in germany and go fast).
However you do get into low load scenarios where your engine is inefficient a lot.
When in neutral with the ICE turned off, you could drive short distances entirely on electricity.
