being able to coast efficiently would be worth the (relatively simple) complexity it takes for me. But in most congested driving I find traffic more accepting of slower acceleration (whaddayagonnado?) than of slower deceleration, so more efficient regen is useful IMHO.
Also, not sure you noticed the relatively poor performance of the series generator there in my previous post there Ian/Neil. Same basic car, probably some extra weight in the electric version though, but still the gas version of the car simply crushes it MPG wise (44 mpg vs 100+mpg). Please take note, it is always nice to have real world examples.
