Very interesting. I can see why the car engineers  are going for this.
Instant supercharging. Combines the alternator with the electric
motor assisted Rotrex super charger. No wonder it is only used
on the $200,000 Bentley :) I can't see it for aircraft use
as we don't need instant acceleration. Too costly and too heavy.
No energy recovery from the exhaust so no better BSFC or a lower
fuel burn for a given HP.

Electric assisted turbo chargers have been around for a few years
with many of the same advantages and less fuel burn as most of the
boost HP comes from the otherwise wasted energy in the exhaust.
