Isn't this basically how diesel electric trains work?
The trains obviously have smaller, less advanced batteries, but by relegating the ICE to a generator, you're able to tweak its performance and squeeze out a lot more efficiency. Instead of a normal ICE car, That's going to spend some amount of time idling, a decent amount of time accelerating, under and over RPMing, it's basically designed to work only when it needs to, and within the most efficient parameters it can, when it does.
