Very interested in seeing your system working, with my recently developed skill in EOC and P&G I can see a benefit to some form of electrical assist as well as auto stop/start for improved FE on a non hybrid car like my Yaris. The only thing I would add is solar Panels to charge the batteries. Adding a light push from the electric motor could increase the glide portion substantially...
