The problem with eAssist is it didn't work.
It got worse fuel economy on the highway and about the same in the city.
This hybrid idea is from back when GM thought it was more important for a vehicle to have a badge that says "hybrid" then to build a "hybrid" system that actually worked.
This hybrid system reminds me of when GM used put an air pump on vehicles to blow air into a vehicles exhaust stream to "reduce emissions". It works on paper, but in the grand scheme of things in the real world it don't.
