If a car can accelerate with 2 wheels, why do you assume having recapture on 2 wheels means you can only recapture 50 of the braking power. How often do you really even get close to using 25% of your vehicles stopping capacity? I go weeks without braking this hard. The regen braking will be using the drive motors so I suspect they will be much more efficient then an alternator and will generate DC power. Prius regen capacity seems to be 33-50%.. and the Prius only has tiny batteries and motors compared to a PHV...so a PHV will be able to capture more energy faster with regen. You also have to accept that decent results are being achieved already with technology that is still in it's infancy. Imagine if SAAB put a small 5 Kw gas turbine generator in the car.. the slogan.. SAAB - Your Road Jet is ready!!!
