Interesting concept from Toyota for a Free-Piston Generator (Piston is free to slide with no crank)

Would this be ideal for a EREV/Rex?
I can't help feeling this is leaning very heavily on The Free piston Sterling engine that SunPower developed and Nasa have been testing to replace the thermocouple RTG (Stirlings have been producing Up to 55% Carnot efficiency!)
