And this was interesting:
"...as more and more vehicles are hybridized, then the regenerative braking reduces the effect of weight, and hence increases the proportion of the total losses coming from aerodynamics. For a high speed cycle with multiple acceleration and deceleration events this increase can be as much as 44%."
I hadn't thought of that.
