Since I'm still kind of stoked on the idea of building a hybrid/full EV turbobrick, let's have a discussion on how to do it with cheap junkyard/Chinese parts.
Stuff I've ran into:
Fork truckmotor on the driveshaft

Chinese hub motors for the front wheels maybe?

Tesla motor, this guy is doing a pretty cool job with those in his shed, recommended watch

Mercedes 48v e-alternator setup, fast and simple but weak?

Theoretical benchrace budget let's say 2-3k including some Chevy volt batteries, or a DIY laptop battery pack. Tesla stuff is also good but $$$ from what I've seen, in a wagon the spare wheel well should provide plenty of space with decent weight distribution
