Exactly, and this will be the reason why more Manufacturers will soon go Hybrid in the future. There are countless of reasons to do so.
1/ Electric Motors give Immediate Torque
2/ Electric Motors will last forever under the right operation temperature, and efficiency. Your ICE will probably die before the Motors
3/ Electric Motors Bushings can easily be replaced, if it worn out, and is the only thing that could go wrong.....maybe millions miles later and the Permanent magnets need replaced
(Note: Permanent**)
4/ Battery Packs allow Better Weight Distribution in the Vehicle for Better Balance
5/ Electric Motors can easily be Upgraded for More HP and More Torque, just need better cooling, and no Tune needed
6/ Electric Motors can Independently be placed on each wheels with it's own Chips. It can do a better job at Torque Vectoring, and Maximize the Frictions and Grips, or Minimize Slipage
7/ Battery are Recycling resources
8/ Hybrids can be Combined with any Available Energy Sources: Diesel, Gasoline, Natural gas, Hydrogen.....etc. You name it
9/ Save Gas, Save the Planet, Less Toxic wastes.....
10/ Electric Motors can Replace Limited Slip Differential, and do a better jobs

Ways too much more to list
The Keys here are:
To have the Internal Combustion Engine to work Independently from the Electric Motors or Electrical components
Under that condition:
1/ You can Turbo your ICE, or Bolts on, whatever float your boat to Boost the ICE HP and Torque....
2/ You can Leave your ICE alone, and Upgrade your Motors and or Electrical Components for more Torque
3/ You can do both while raising your ICE Horse Power, and Increasing the Torque from the Electrical components
4/ You can mod the Electric Components to do 0-60 in 2 seconds, and immediately switch to your Engine to do 55-155 MPH in a total of 10 seconds...wut ?
Endless possibilities to mod, and enjoy your own creation.
Remember Torque is what move you
Hybrid is the only Technology that Allow you to Adjust your own Torque vs HP on the FLY.....depending on Tastes, Track Conditions, Time Attacks....etc.
