An electric supercharger, plus two turbochargers. Interesting. Could refer to a version of the hybrid turbocharger that is being promoted. That uses an electric drive for boost, and a separately located exhaust turbine that is not mechanically connected, but which charges the power source for the compressor. Fast response times, as well as overall efficiency gains on engine over-run. Interesting times.
