That means the gas engine needs to idle all the time in order to provide power to the power steering, ac, braking and other stuff?
In the article it says there is a battery in the trunk powering the motors. The engine is not running when using the battery.
but those are mechanically connected to the old motor. They would need to be replaced in order to work with a battery and that's not easy and not cheap because nobody can afford to lose power to the brake pump while in highway
I'm guessing conversion of those boosters to electric would be part of the process...? But I don't know.
