On hills, we've found it is more efficient to burn as the vehicle requires more torque (more amps) to pull up the hills and so if you burn hard and go up faster you spend less time at full power. Once we've gained height we then freewheel down the hills as much as possible during which time the motor doesn't use any power at all.
