    OK, good to know. So maybe run that generator-like source for a little longer.

    Do BEVs still use the car’s momentum or braking to recharge the batteries like a lot of hybrids used to or still do? I know it won’t amount to much but I’m sure it helps.

      BEVs regenerate and it does amount to a lot.

      ICE vehicles are stupid. You buy a set amount of energy from a price fixing cartel, then waste 75% of it as heat through the radiator and brakes, we literally just throw away the energy. Because it’s cheap.
