This. Think of the battery and electric motor in a hybrid like a caching system that makes the power-train able to use energy a lot more efficiently.

It's like a solid state version of a giant flywheel under the car. Bonus in that there's no extra angular momentum.

Electric motor needs to be large enough to absorbe the momentum of travel, though. You saved momentum storage but not size.
