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

https://debugger.medium.com/wireless-charging-is-a-disaster-waiting-to-happen-48afdde70ed9

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).
