By this picture, its obvious that this is a parallel hybrid running through the stock automatic transmission. I think its a brilliant setup but its not a series hybrid.

Not to interject, because I have no idea about it, but how can we tell that the center piece between the ICE and the transmission isn't really a generator on one side, and a motor on the other side, joined at the ends, with no mechanical connection between them?
You can see a flange connection between the two pieces of shiny goodness in those pics, so it's possible.
