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.

Cool. Make it and post your progress. Can't wait.
