Err no! The electric motors are used to assist the petrol motor during acceleration - instant torque from an electric motor so you could see a massive increase in acceleration compared to a normal petrol car - should have more torque than the diesels too
As regards the batteries they are recharged during braking...
Potentially a great little system - bit heavy possibly atm
