I agree that it's a bit of greenwashing to try to convince the car manufacturers. But in reality the new fuel is the biggest "green" thing. And in theory the electricity for the batteries could be from wind power

The Rally1 rules originally had longer HEV liaisons. In Monte they were omitted and FIA said it was to give more breathing space for the teams who were there with new cars...but now we're halfway into the season and hybrid units have worked fine after Sweden, what's next?
