Absolutely, but not as a means of improving performance. There are a variety of good reasons they use the electrics. The primary reasons are that emissions controls require very stable, somewhat higher, operating temperatures to function properly and it would be less economical to have less interchangeable systems and parts in manufacturing.

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