You're talking about something that would have to be mass-produced by a vehicle manufacturer that adds electric motors, additional batteries and a redesigned charging system. Why turn mechanical energy into electrical energy just to turn it back to mechanical energy, when the first two steps can be eliminated?

The first video you posted above is addressing turbo lag, I'm addressing supercharger parasitic load of an already existing and installed supercharger unit which eliminates the lag in the first place.

The second video seems to be focusing mostly on fuel efficiency and regenerative electrical production, I'm addressing performance by freeing up the power and torque at high RPM's which would normally be needed of your engine by the supercharger and that you are already producing anyways, to make it available to the drive train instead. (Besides, would you really ever want anything designed by Chrysler/Fiat to be bolted up to your engine?)

Subscribing if you actually do this.
