Yes, I think that is how it works.

Someone on another forum found an interview where they explained the "5X" number: in a series hybrid vehicle, this engine is 5X more efficient than an SUV, and it is 3.5X more efficient that a current parallel hybrid. Only a bit more helpful, but still pretty vague...
