I asked you for a source. Hydraulic fluid has viscocity, pumps have drag, switches aren't %100 efficient, drivelines aren't 100% efficient.

You stated 95% efficient regen from decel to accel, and don't have a source for that I guess.

I agree hydraulic is power dense, and electric is energy dense. Not saying there is no application for hydraulic, there already is, just calling BS on %95 efficient claims.
