Ah, good point, I did not see that.
A 12v battery of 8 cells would be able to be regenned up to 160amps - if one could rig up an alternator or DC-DC converter capable of 160A@15V, that would be 2.4kW (3.2hp) of regenerative braking. That's about 30% of the regenerative capability of a stock Insight.
