  • I think there was a Renault that worked like this. I think the main issue is that you need a decently sized battery that can supply enough power or else the ICE needs to start every time you hit the gas pedal like was the case with the older Prius models and then you might as well connect it to the wheels and you can have a smaller electric motor.

    But batteries keep improving and you can pull more power per kWh now. Maybe with solid state batteries this power train could become the more affordable option.










  • I use it to open the spell checker options while I’m typing. It’s annoying to have to switch from keyboard to mouse. My current laptop doesn’t have the key and I even added another short key.

    The super key, again, is useful so you don’t have to switch between keyboard and mouse when searching for an app. It is also the modifier for all GUI shortcuts.
