I am just saying, I refuse to reconfigure my motor set-up if the hub motors are going to be this much of a royal pain to figure out...

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.

Well, if two hub generators on the rear of the car are not enough for this set-up, how about also including the altermotor?

If the system won't be AWD and self-sufficient then I see no point in having it.
I'm starting to admire the persistence of the other posters. I think you're trolling. I shall lurk more until I see some indication you have read and understand:

We haven't talked about any of the other ways you could get what you want:
  • Parking in a solar carport with an automatic tentacle to recharge.
  • Having the V-8 run 24/7 to recharge a massive battery.
  • Having two switchable battery banks so one can charge while t'other discharges.
