I don't know what the upper limit is, but I have always wanted to see what a series hybrid can do. Here is someone saying what you are, right?!?! :
Series hybrid no better than a gas car? - Autoblog Green

Secondly a series hybrid engine will be running at constant speed and load and can be optimized for that duty cycle. That means that it can actually be made to run at higher efficiency than an engine that has to be able to smoothly handle operation for 600-6000rpm. The overal efficiency of the whole system can be dramatically increased.
