This is basically how Toyota's hybrid engine works. Almost everything is powered off the inverter. I think the only thing that isn't is the gas engine's water pump, which has no reason to be electric.
It's way more efficient to build the a hybrid with the gas engine as part of the drivetrain than only use it power electric motors.

The gas engine can drive the front wheels directly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jofycaXByTc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jofycaXByTc Conceptual explanation of the system. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O61WihMRdjM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O61WihMRdjM Weber Auto giving an extensive hands on explanation.

- Toutouxc 3y agoIt’s true that most accessories in the car are electric, but the ICE is a full blown, powerful car engine that’s mechanically connected to the wheels and that in some regimes directly drives the car. I don’t think that was what OP meant.
