295 ft-lb @ 0 rpm is near worthless. It'll get you started great from a stop, but then what do you have when the rpms rise?

A hybrid power plant can be made to put out any amount of power at any rpm you want, but the cost and weight might be a big problem.

What would be the endurance of the electric assist? I need one that will give full power all the way up a long hill at 60+ mph while towing a max weight trailer, 11,800# combined truck and trailer weight...and fully recharges on the downhill before the next uphill.
