You get no where near that much energy back. 5% on average. Do the math regen
produces a few amps and acceleration uses hundreds of amps.
I believe you are mistaken. Regen might increase range by 5-15% but it
returns about 50% of the energy expended to attain speed back to the
battery. Of course, energy losses due to such as wind drag and
wheel/tire friction are gone forever. The kinetic energy of a moving
vehicle can be mostly recovered.
