Well EV mode if i'm correct in the Prius and Insight spins the shutdown engine giving pumping losses as well as propelling the car. Which is inefficient.
From what i gather the new system will decouple from the engine, allowing all the electricity to power the motor and move the car. The better half of it is your regen can be much more efficient cause you get rid of engine braking, and transmission loses.
