This might allow for a much higher rate of cylinder deactivated operation than it is possible on a car.
Actually the strategy I am following is mainly to overcome the massive lack of used 250's on the french market ...

Just go with a hybrid setup and down size the ICE as much as you can get away with in order to maintain your top end cruising speed! A 72V to 96V system would give you solid performance down low and not add to much cost and weight to the table as long as you use Lithium Iron batteries or a hybrid battery design.
By the time you do everything needed for the cylinder deactivation the hybrid may not look so costly or complicated!
Cylinder deactivation can absolutely be done and does give benefit but you are still utilizing an ICE why not go HEV especially in France heck the majority of your power comes form Nuclear which gives you a big advantage to use electric at least part of the time :-)
