Makes me wonder to which extent the ICE power consumed by the MG2 while it spins backward (eventually working as a generator at that circumstance) would count to keep the power at the maximum combined rating. Having resorted to a hybrid Corolla taxi a couple of times, I was quite entertained looking at the display showing the energy flow between ICE, electric motors and battery.
