Thanks. I have a hybrid with regenerative braking, so I know that it works, but it works best with long, slow, deceleration.

Yeah, apparently driving style is a big factor. If you tend to brake hard using the conventional brakes, you won’t get much benefit from the regenerative braking. But if you learn to do “one pedal driving” where you use the motor braking that happens when you let off the gas pedal, you can conserve dramatically more energy.
