I don't know much about them and not affiliated, but this Ampaire "Hybrid-Electric"Skymaster 337 flew at Oshkosh in 2022. https://www.ampaire.com/
I talked with those guys at length. According to the main guy I talked with, they shut the electric motor off after takeoff and climb-out and flew the rest of the trip on the recip. Their marketing materials were "Experimental Hybrid aircraft Flew to Oshkosh from the West Coast with one stop.", or something like that. They didn't mention that only about 10 minutes of the flight actually used the electric motor.
