Back in the good old days before cops and radar, holding the gas people steady would pick up speed going down a hill getting free kinetic energy to help you up the next hill, this all ended with radar, would get a fat fine.
How about an 8,000 pound SUV carrying a single 90 pound woman with that added motor generator and battery pack to kind of retrieve some of that slowing down energy the brake are chiefly responsible. Not to mention all the addition weight and complexity of hybrid vehicles.
Energy conservation losses due to conversions, motion to rotating a generator maybe 60%, charging lose another 15%, discharge, about 10%, internal resistance of the battery, electrical to mechanical conversion, another least 60% loss. Live in a town with a lot of green or should I say stupid people, driving hybrids with a zillion stop or red traffic lights. At everyone drive to that last instant and slam on the brakes.
Hybrids are a stupid idea, like living on an earth covered with 75% super high specific heat storing water and blaming less that 0.06% of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere for global warming we sure are not experiencing in Wisconsin. Sure have an excess of idiots in this world.
Because it take my car an extra minute to warm up have to pay extra for winter gas that is killing my fuel economy by 25% and putting more pollution into the air. In the US heads of our over 1,500 agencies like the EPA is ran by people with the only requirement, helped the president get elected, far better off in the 60's when we only had two government agencies.
