It sounds like you're describing pure electric power steering.  I think what
he's talking about is a hybrid electric/hydraulic system, where the pump is
turned by a motor.  I've heard of this on race cars, but I've never heard of
it being used on a production car.  That's not to say it never happened,
though.
