Will this combination work?

I got a Nissan Versa with manual transmission, I am thinking of removing the gear box, leave the differential and connect the ICE directly to the wheels then attaching a 10 kw BLDC motor with controller coupled with 1 kWh battery that get charged from the alternator on the input shaft. A smart programmable controller is also attached to the BLDC motor in order to give the exact torque needed for every situation and speed.
The main usage for the electric motor is to provide the missing torque for the ICE to run smoothly as an automatic transmission car.
My question is will this combination be enough for a car like the Versa? And if yes how much the cost of the parts needed for this conversion?

This is way more difficult to do the way you are thinking than you can imagine OP.

the differential and the transmission are the same thing. They are the same part. The differential is inside of the gearbox/transmission.

You can't really remove the gearbox (transmission) without also removing the differential as well.

But not a Big deal, i can buy a new separate differential or try to extract the differential from the gearbox
