   this is basically the same as the hybrid system in the Honda CR-V, except the CR-V can clutch the engine in directly to the wheels at highway speeds.

      Which AFAIK is more efficient (no losses on converting kinetic to electric, electric to chemical, and back: chemical to electric and then to kinetic).

         Toyota has the best one. No clutch at all, can drive only combustion engine

            maybe for efficiency. not for driveability
