But wouldn't aggressive regenerative braking negate the weight penalty? The hybrid Toyotas I've driven are pretty weak here, but the Chevy Bolt I drove had very strong regenerative braking.
As for cost, well, that's what the subsidies are for.
- kenhwang 3y agoA Prius Prime has a 161HP/120kW electric motor and a 13.6kWh battery. Regen braking is usually able to capture 15-30% of the motor's output power. You'd have to be at full regen for about 22 minutes to fully charge that battery. That's not a realistic driving pattern for a significantly large majority of people.
