Electric vacuum pimp? What's wrong with using manifold vacuum and a vacuum tank like every other manufacturer on the planet?

Granted on a diseasel you don't have that luxury but there is a vacuum pump there for the servo (often mounted on the back of an alternator depending on the vehicle) so would only need a tank and maybe an NRV to prevent the brake servo being deprived of vacuum.

Is it over-engineering or over-complicating?
