do you think a parallel setup cant also be a plug in?

do you think a constant 24% drivetrain loss is not substantial?

do you not think a halfway decent driver can keep the load relatively closer than that to bsfc peak? Especially with the right engine for the job? And especially with electric motors/regen at their disposal (fine, teach a computer to do it/ whatever)

What series hybrids have made it to production? I'm trying to focus on the realities here, not how many angels can dance on the head of a pin, speculative arguments about non quatified vehicles.
