Nope. Converting mechanical energy to electricity, and then electricity back to mechanical energy, is most certainly NOT more efficient than driving the wheels directly. In fact it's about 15% worse, which is why the Volt is engineered to drive the wheels directly above 62mph when the gas engine is running.
