Kit should be expanded with electric generator turbo spooled up by exhaust. This way one should never worry about battery draining or extra power usage to generate electricity via normal generator. And if one goes on high-rpms/high-load for long periods of time, it will at same time also generate more power in turbo, to compensate more power usage by electric SC.
Yes, simple mechanical directly linked turbo on exhaust-intake probably will have less mechanical energy losses, but electric one due no direct link will keep all pros of ESC like fine tunable to any rpms/loads, full forced induction in low rpms too, no need for blow off valves and alike things to workaround classic turbo cons. Imho that (ESC+Eturbo generator) should be future of motoring.
