Well, if I can't use the electric assist all the time then I suppose I can't use it period as there is no benefit to having it if the system can't be designed for self-sufficiency. This is why I thought using the V8 engine to help power the front hub motors while the front hub motors were doing half of the work the V8 engine is doing, would help result in such a self-sufficient system not requiring the down-time charging that is recommended.

This, at least, is what I get from reading your comment.

If this set-up is going to be troublesome then I won't bother with it for the advantages I was hoping to gain from it.
