I had one other thought about this.

Since the VX stays in lean burn under low throttle settings and the alt. load is enough to take it out of lean burn, would it be feasible to actually use the alternator as a very mild hybrid drive? If you had the LiIon power to spare, why not pump it back into the alternator to give you a bit of a push in situations where it might mean staying in lean burn?
