I agree, but I don't think the OP is aware of all of our tricks to get "crazy" mileage
.
Maybe he would be interested in looking at different "modes" for assist and add regen abilities. Only down side I can even see to this, is the belts might wear out much faster since it is being stressed more.
I wonder how efficient the alt is at producing power vs using the power to make something move. I would suspect if going from mechanical to battery storage back to mechanical again is over 30%, it would work well with P&G since from my understanding, a ICE engine is only 20-25% efficient from fuel to movement.
I personally would think for the ecomodder members would like 2 button manual control/override as an option. First button to enable assist (don't matter what the system sees), and the second to reverse the effect and regen back to the batteries. In the correct hands, it should give amazing results!
