Just like Toyota is trying to solve takeoff by adding their launch gear to the CVT, I was thinking the elec motor would offer a similar result. Nothing to do with efficiency. Just a small motor to add responsiveness at 0-10 mph, no regen - just a battery, controller, and motor. I like that...

I can see how that is likely. BUT it is the most capable and efficient engine of the 2. I spent $400 on Ktuner and got a heap of power gain and the CVT is smooth (enough). And i didn't mean if Ktuner would work with the ECU, but if it would also be able to set parameters for the electrical...

New powertrain will have a simple electrical assist motor with recharging system added to the 1.5T/CVT to get rid of the momentary lag at take off. And can be Ktuned as well.
