All that will achieve is added costs and complication unfortunately no matter how you look at it. I think it is an either or situation, they either decide to stay IC or go to electric and that latter has as much chance of happening in the foreseeable future as I have of winning the lottery. I reckon that in fifty years time people are going to look back at hybrids as a strange why did they bother type of view. Range extenders are a different class of animal altogether.
