They predict that a full-scale system on a four-wheel car should be able to recover up to 256 watts under these driving conditions.
“For typical driving conditions, we are predicting the ability to harvest approximately 64 watts per wheel, for a total of approximately 256 watts,” says Zuo. “This value increases considerably when the system is used on irregular roads.”

250W is short of multi-kW, but should be noticeable. I wonder what the weight penalty is, though.
