Right, the regenerative shocks that Levant make are hydraulic, with a small turbine and a generator as the load/dampener, and it can be used to vary the dampening, but this uses some power. If it is just used as "passive" dampening like a standard shock, then it would generate power to charge the battery.
Large truck tires -- mudders and oversized offroad tires have this undamped spring issue.
