By adding a supercapacitor (that can charge/discharge at very high currents, and then can be used to either charge the battery at a feasible rate, or can be used to accelerate), and "learning" software controls, the percentage of electric regeneration can be increased quite a bit.

Dave, how would your ideal parallel hybrid be configured?
