So the hydraulics are primarily the transmission with a buffer, and regenerative braking, as well.
How long does the ICE need to run to recharge the accumulator? What about warm up time? If the ICE has just finished it's charging cycle, does it leave a little capacity for a potential use of the brakes? What if the accumulator is full, and there are no friction brakes in the car - how does it stop moving?
Is that how the PSA Peugeot Citroën and Bosch system works?
P.S. I'm not sure what the X-Prize rules have to do with this discussion?
