Retrofit system for converting a vehicle into one of a hybrid electric vehicle and electric vehicle

A hybrid electric vehicle comprising:

• two or more wheels for propelling the vehicle by receiving a torque through a propeller shaft;
• an electric power source comprising two or more motors structured to provide the torque to the vehicle in combination with an engine of the vehicle;
• one or more attachable electric power gear assemblies structured to couple the two or more motors to a propeller shaft for providing the torque to the vehicle;
• an electronic control unit coupled to the electric power source and configured to dynamically activate or deactivate each of the two or more motors based on one or more operating conditions of the vehicle;
• and
• one or more batteries structured to provide electric energy to the electric power source and one or more electrical devices of the vehicle, said one or more batteries being charged by the electric power source when operated as a generator,
• wherein the one or more attachable electric power gear assemblies are configured to connect at least one of the two or more motors in at least one of a perpendicular position or a parallel position to the propeller shaft;
• and
• wherein a first motor of the two or more motors has at least one of a number of poles or a number of phases different from a second motor of the two or more motors.
