There may be any number of good reasons to run electrics but saving parasitic hp loss isn't a good one.

Pan you make good points but as DWSCR pointed out. The electric fans do not run all the time an thus there is no parasitic loss. Even with the inertial clutch there is drag on the engine and we are talking about overall operation being a HP increase and not a direct one for one ratio.
