CX-50 Hybrid on a long mountain ascent?

I'm researching new cars.

According to Honda hybrid owners, the battery runs out on a long mountain climb leaving the ICE to do the duty, greatly reducing the power and therefore lowering the ability to keep speed.

How does your CX-50 Hybrid do on a long mountain ascent?
 
Can't imagine it is an issue. Yes the battery may be low, but it is still being charged to maintain about 40% battery. This means you will use a bit of gasoline and engine power and that power is plenty for climbing all mountains in North America for sure and likely all the world. Keep in mind you have a Toyota powertrain which could well be different from Honda.
