The avrage binary driver, AKA those who alternate between mashing the brake pedal and gas pedal until they get to their destination, see a benefit from the hybrid drivetrain because they only see a 70% waste of kinetic energy when doing regen vs 99% on a regular car brakeing while in DFCO plus they don't need to know how to drive a car with a low horsepower engine (I take turns signed for 10 MPH at 30 MPH, 15 MPH at 45 MPH and 35 MPH at 65 MPH, if I can safely see around it and know the car can take it, this allows me to negotiate traffic without flogging the engine, if I had any sway bars I'd likely go faster but my rubber overdrives I have for front tires rub if I take turns too quick.)
