Sure. Either this, or having to resort to oversized hub motors in order to reach the same performance figure.

A 100 Nm hub motor puts 100 Nm to the rear axle. A 100 Nm mid-drive motor puts 300 to 500 Nm to the rear axle.

That is why bicycles and motorcycles with hub motors are generally much slower to accelerate than a vehicle with the same size frame mounted motor.
Sure, but since my ICE only has 110Nm and I don't want a full hybrid pretty much any motor should have enough torque

I just saw this video (YouTube: b Sport Valkyrie 3(I can't post links)) about the Aston Martin Valkyrie, it also uses an automated sequential manual transmission and an electric motor inside it wich does exactly what I had in mind: it is used for low speed driving, as reverse, to smooth the shifts, to start the engine and for recuperation.

I don't exact know the internals of my gearbox, but replacing the reverse gear with a motor should be possible, if not I could mount the motor externally

Probably easier to get a transfer case used in 4wheel drive systems and add a motor to that. Plus you get an additional lower series of gears.

How do you want to place this? Gearbox-Transfer Case-Diff-Driveshafts? because the Diff is integrated into the gearbox. Gearbox-Diff-Transfer Case- Driveshafts seems very difficult

I'm well aware of some replicas of the Lotus 7 fitted with motorcycle engines resorting to an auxiliary electric motor only to provide reversing, not being a hybrid at all. Maybe you could remove the reverse gear from the stock transmission of your car, which I wouldn't recommend, but I don't believe replacing it with an electric motor right inside the transmission case would be any easy.

Recently I bought a second EV, a BMW i3-REx, so I could work on my Tesla Model 3 when something might take more than a day:
  • 2017 BMW i3-REx
  • $15,000 (add taxes and fees)
  • 57,000 mi (battery warranty 60,000 mi or 8 years)
  • 27 kWh (28.3 kWh new)
  • Fixed gear, no transmission
  • 106 mi range at @65 mph
  • 88 mi range on mid-grade gas @65 mph
It is an EV around to and from the nearest towns with highway privileges, ~36 MPG. Cross country is like a motorcycle with stopping every ~1.5 hours to top off the 2.3 gallon tank and drain the used coffee. Enclosed, there is no helmet, bugs, rain, cold, or heat in a comfortable four seater.

It is very hard to retro-fit any kind of EV drive into an ICE car. The body structure is wrong and inserting a 'power assist' has no friendly power take-off or add-shaft interface. The alternator/motor systems have been a mess and you're adding parts that always reduces reliability.

How often does the Tesla need work?

It depends. VW Beetle, Porshe 914, 356, 911 are popular choices.

Remember mine is over 4 years and 115,000 miles:
  • Windshield and roof glass from pebbles thrown up or dropped from trucks.
  • Passenger side wheel bearings from hitting curb.
  • Front bottom from parking curb scrapes.
  • Bottom rear cover from road debris
  • 12 V battery wore out.
  • OEM tires wore out
  • Added 2” receiver hitch
  • Unseen post while parking
  • One cabin filter replacement
  • Most frequent, window washing fluid
My cars work for me and most of these were wear and tear from working hard. My previous Prius had similar maintenance plus Spring/Fall oil changes, annual engine filter, two transmission oil drain and fill, failed attempt to replace brake booster after 260,000 miles.

An EV is a car body encapsulation of a near maintenance free electric drivetrain.

might as well go with GM's option a v8 engine 6.0L LS2 engine with it's in transmission EV motor..

it would still do 40-45mpg in a car..

the best i was able to do was 32mpg.. 100% stock
