Note the confusing term ECVT is not really the pulley system that we normally see in a CVT of a small car. There is no torque converter in this gearbox. instead, the electric motor puts in the initial grunt so that the engine is not stalled and is more efficient. Finally, the electricity is stored in capacitors, not batteries. Hope this answers some question that was not really asked in the first place. hehe...
