    They are more efficient than pure ICE vehicles though in most situations.

    At low speed and city driving the regenerative breaking can make a 30mpg motor into a 50-60 mpg motor.

    I drove one for awhile and the efficiency is noticable.

      Yes absolutely, I’m not saying self charging doesn’t have merit, it’s just not an electric, but only a more economic ICE car.
