My 94 VX has just passed 59k miles and the original front brake pads have 50% left.
I guess that confirms that coasting is better, but coasting and regeneration would be even better in the inevitable circumstance of forced stops.
I read somewhere that a single 60-0 stop wastes the energy that could maintain the original speed for .7 mile.
The key is to have the ability to regenerate without a massive weight penalty, as well as to store and reapply the energy at much higher efficiencies than are possible with electric configurations.
