You could put the motor where the trans is if you wanted, but I think about the weight distribution on the suspension. The 4BT and Gen will weigh as much as a big v8. Putting it direct to the axle with a TEFC, puts the weight on the wheels where it's needed. Need a long skinny motor. You don't need the trans at all. Torque is all pedal power. The newer drives may have an ability to flip a switch for all torque and no speed. Using a VFD in AC, you can control the heat. It converts AC to DC to AC again 30 HP motor at 460 VAC would use 3 #8 wires.
Take that Chevy Volt.
Could you imagine getting 100 MPG?
I've got it all thought out. No place to work
