He didn't say anything about the transmission; when the engine/generator has to be running in order for the vehicle to move, the electric drive motor is merely functioning as an electric transmission whether there's a mechanical transmission between it and the wheels or not.
Anyway, by the time you get through buying all that stuff and likely increasing the weight and complexity of the vehicle, I don't see much money or even fuel saving potential.
