Kind of Prius-like transmission in aircraft.

Ie. - take an engine with 100 hp, mate it to the prop which is ok for climb/take-off, but won't absorb all power at cruise, add to it 10-20 kw generator, and add motor with same power and propeller for cruise in tail / wing pod etc.. ..

10 kw should be in 10-15 kg total. And you are less in generator/starter on a motor. 20 kw - twice of course = 30 kg.

Could any one more skilled provide kind of main power to addendum motor power graph vs cruise speed ?
