The extra electrical power generated out weighs (no pun intended) the extra weight the regen equipment ads?
Brake Energy Regeneration here is not like on a hybrid that generates power on braking that is stored in the batteries, and leads to artificial brake feel. Not sure if there has been an explanation - my best guess is alternator generates max. power on braking and cuts back under acceleration.
