My EV use to be a hybrid before I converted to a Electric only. No computer was use. The engine was a GM V-6 which was electrical couple to the pilot shaft of a GE-11 inch DC traction motor.
The engine could drive the vehicle when the coupler was engage which mechanical rotated the motor through to the transmission. Use a industrial multiple vacuum switch that received the vacuum signal from the engine, I can operated the motor as a helper to the engine. Or the engine disengages from the motor and the operate the motor only. Or if the motor current is too high, the engine would held out the motor. Any time the vacuum would drop below 15 in.hg, the engine accelerator linkage would transfer to the motor accelerator which controls the motor only, while the engine would idle down. Use this system back in the 80's so I can keep up with the highway traffic going up steep grades going at 75 to 80 mph.
