Err, no. The concept is totally flawed. All it does is move the pollution

similar performance.

The overall efficiency is improved too, for short journeys in typical
dense urban traffic. I'm not claiming that pure batteries are
particularly useful (given our current geenration technologies) or that
they're a solution for long-haul motorway driving.
