Huh? Auto stopstart is very common.

Also starting from stopped is the worst for efficiency, as ICE cars produce optimally / most efficiently at a particular rpm

Edit Common use patterns are to supplement start stop with the electric motor, to get the Gas motor closer to it's ideal rpm before it does work.

I wasn't talking about auto stop/start at all?

It also has no bearing on what I was talking about. Start/stop automatic triggers when the vehicle is stopped, but only if the engine is warm already. This is exactly for the same reason as I pointed out above: starting a cold engine is bad. Starting an engine that is already close to its operating temperature takes very little effort and puts very little strain on the system.

As I said, cold start from ev, use ice when near rpm ideals

That makes no sense. The electric motors are an entirely different, separate system from the ICE. As such, using the e-drive will not heat up or spin the pistons in the ICE at all.

The ICE is only connected to a generator to charge the battery while driving, thus providing extra charge for more range and/or peak torque/speed.
