FYI I did a quick Google search on loss in wireless charging, and found this:

It's lossy but the amount is inconsequential if you're just charging a phone. At an EV level I think it would be massively pricey and a major unnecessary load on our power grid, all to avoid plugging in a cable.

Thanks for the link, interesting article.

Then you need more oomph obviously. They could make one of the large Diesels with hybrid also. I don't know if a heavy hybrid could increase to ratings on the engine above because of battery weight.

easy decision if you're towing regularly, the legendary Duramax® 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8 paired with an Allison® 10-speed automatic transmission.

That does solve most towing challenges, but of course isn't a hybrid. I lean to think the extra weight of even a mild hybrid would offset any increasing in towing capacity.

And then some probably. You'd end up with better city mpg, but a lower gross towing figure (some of which is about braking).
