That's why we have hybrids.
Not only due to a real CVT being less complex overall than some transmission with too many physical gears, but also due to hybrid systems often being capable of emulating a CVT, sounded quite predictable for hybrids to become a sensible option under a higher load which CVTs are often claimed to not withstand.
