That is kind of how IMA works on the insight. . .but it does it the other way around. It holds the gas engine at constant load output and then if it needs to accelerate bumps the electric on to pull to desired speed and then switches back to ICE only.

Its not static, but its more or less pulling as hard as it can when its on.
