Theres also the mild vs serial vs parallel hybrid thing.
Early hybrids were a standard ICE with some help from an additional motor, later hybrids moved towards being a BEV with a smaller battery that gets topped up by a generator (which is roughly what a hydrogen Fuel cell car is too).
This is analogous to what the article suggests with the Schneider drive.
But I think emprically, even the earlier mild hybrids were more mechanically reliable than ICE equivalents. Makes sense as you'd be in the sweet spot for the engine more often.
In bike terms that is the equivalent of the amount of battery you need to get you over big hills and maybe help you get going from a standstill and maybe let you get away with a few internal gears.
Well there's all sorts of different marketing terms.
Nissan seems to brand theirs as "e-power" to avoid geting them confused with their actual EV range, but possibly the lack of plug is the key difference there.
