You missed the point of what I wrote. I was not saying that the recapture of energy DEFINED a hybrid, but rather that recapturing energy and storing it in batteries is ONE WAY that it could be turned into a hybrid. Of course there are others, such as having batteries that were recharged at stations, and not by regeneration (though of course that would be missing the chance for major energy savings).
