An electrically assisted turbocharger (EAT) is an arrangement where an electric motor assists the gas-driven turbocharger in providing forced induction, particular at times when exhaust gas flow is insufficient to produce the desired boost.^[1] Some systems integrate the motor inside a turbocharger, while others use a separate electric supercharger.
