The electric motor kicks in for a brief period as needed to bring turbo up to full speed. For example, when the engine is idling and the accelerator is depressed. A standard turbocharger is totally ineffective when the engine is idling. After the exhaust gas volume and pressure picks up, the electric motor drops out and the unit operates like a standard turbocharger. So it draws electric power only briefly...like a starter motor. The essence of Turbodyne's technology is to eliminate turbo lag. Gerry
