The whole point of a hybrid is to run the ICE only in its most efficient region. At low loads the electric battery drives the car. If the battery gets too low, then the ICE runs, but rather than running at a low (and inefficient) load, it runs at its sweet spot and the excess power it generates charges the battery. When the demand is high, rather than running the ICE hard, it is kept at its sweet spot and the electric motor boosts power instead. So yes, the ICE part is more efficient in a hybrid, though it isn't magic. |
