I mean, yes? There was a lot of talk years ago of the benefits of regenerative breaking. At the time the consensus was that for in city driving that could recoup a considerable amount of the energy. Add on top of that the efficiencies of burning fuel in a power station vs ICE, and it sounded like there was a good chance it’d be cheaper.
I haven’t heard a lot of those arguments in a long time though. Hard to say if they were founded or if they were just part of the marketing zeitgeist trying to get people excited for electric.
And of course, I just realized that no one talked about conditioning, hot and cold with power, that alone could account for some pretty big power bills. Pretty convenient…
