What would you expect to tow with that hybrid?
Anything and more than the current gas or diesel capability.
Electric side would not need the 700+ horsepower of a Tesla but still to accelerate or climb a hill with electric boost would be effortless. Down the hill would put the energy back into the battery instead of blown off with the exhaust brake.
Sure you would still burn a lot of fuel towing. Not towing should get 50 miles range on electric with no trouble and 60+ MPGe for the daily commute.
I honestly think the combination of power, efficiency and emissions is up against a wall for improvement with the current options. Would be interesting if the urea tank could go away if this reduced emissions enough.
Yea I know I could not afford one either :(
