No. I’m saying that standby generators are not very efficient when used as EV battery chargers. Hybrid vehicles start out with high efficiency powertrains, and then add electric boost to improve acceleration and to also propel the vehicle when the electric system is not as efficient and the IC system. They also utilize regenerative braking and downhill driving to charge the batteries.
Isn't that what I've been saying?

Which works pretty well as brakes, but not so much for recharging the batteries....unless the "batteries" consist of both voltaic cells and massive capacitors.
The true genius in the hybrid concept, is how they replace both the problematic and heavy automatic transmission, and the stone-age friction brakes (designed to wear out) with bullet-proof electric motors that will probably last the life of the vehicle.
