Theoretically, how big of an accumulator would you say you would need in a car to keep up with a brake-recovery system?

10 gallons? 20 gallons? How much energy does it take to stop a car and how much energy can a (lets say) 10 gallon 3,000 psi accumulator contain? (since this is the most common psi rating for accumulators).

OR, would you say not even implement an accumulator?
