Lets say you have 600 HP seconds of energy to collect in 20 revolutions of each of 4 wheels (60 to 0 panic stop 130 feet).

How much of that are you going to get into your battery?

How much of that percentage are you going to get back to the wheels?

You're going to do that with no transmission, IE direct drive or gear reduction?

30% is very good.

Hydraulic hybrid systems were pushing 80% 5 years ago.
