It'd be interesting to have an automatic system monitoring the battery state to override and start charging.
Some manufacturers are using "smart charging" charge as much as possible when decelerating, and at the most efficient times.

I learned pretty quick to add -placenta to any searches on Previa.

Sounds fine If you don't know what it means.
