Been mulling this over and did some digging on the internet but can’t find a solution or really any advice on the issue. Is it possible to DIY your own PHEV? Plenty of PHEVs out there of every stripe, consumer cars, Supercars and even LMDh cars that are gas/EV combined and some are incredible performers with the combined output of the electric and gas motors.
Doesn’t seem like there’s anyone trying it from a modding perspective. I assume that logically there’s a lot of software managing the interplay between the motors, regenerative braking and the like, and this is probably the sticking point. Man, I’d sure love to find a plug’n play setup like an AIM system or Holley controller that you could program the values for the “tune” of each system and go.
Just a pipe dream, I guess? Has anyone seen such a thing?

Sure! This was a thing before mainstream manufacturer’s made Hybrids, PHEV, and EVs you could buy off a lot.
There were some really interesting methods from mild augmentation to full conversion.
Not sure if that’s exactly what I was looking for. I see them adding an additional drive wheel to the car for a boost, but I don’t see assembling an EV/gas combined transmission system or anything. Maybe I missed it?
