Sorry, I meant in the low speed, high acceleration regime (maybe easily confounded with takeoff?). There the engine will turn one motor to generate electricity, which will then power the second motor, like a series hybrid.

No, that's just wrong: at no point is (say) a Toyota Hybrid burning gas to generate electricity to immediately turn another motor that actually moves the wheels.
