I agree. in the FRONT - Turbo inline 4 with an electric-exhaust turbocharger, belt driven starter-alternator, multi clutch transmission driving the front wheels. REAR - Battery pack and rear electric motor with a 2 speed transmission and a rear axle limited slip differential.

All with the character of a hybrid 4. Assuming some amount of time it is running on just the electric motor.

If the goal is to convince me to just buy an EV (battery pack, multi electric motors, most with no transmission), it is working.
