I don't think there will be an 'Achilles heel' , kind of major flaw ... I suspect if designed and built right , it will perform mostly as anticipated ... including all the benefits you've listed.

The question I think will more fall into 2 major categories:

#1> How does the completed HH system end up comparing to other hybrid strategies ... Flywheel, Electric, etc... comparison will be on multiple fronts ... $, size, power density, energy density, durability, etc.

#2> What is the incremental improvement path for the HH vs other hybrid options.

We will have to wait and see how the completed system turns out.

But no matter what ... .... good stuff.
