At the horsepower input level required for an e-charger, it's probably more efficient to use a KERS to recharge it, at which point it would be more efficient to apply power back through that system instead of applying it to a FI component of a less efficient engine. I think a more useful application is to incorporate the electrics into a turbo so that it activates under certain conditions to spool the turbo to a preset RPM.
