Nothing voodoo about it. Minimizing energy use and maximizing percent energy regained with regen are two different things. I said you get more energy back into the pack stopping faster with regen. Of course net energy use increases with more stops/starts, but percentage energy regained with regen increases. Similarly, higher constant speed between start/stops also increases net energy use but it also increases energy regained with regen. So, if you are looking for where you would get the greatest difference in energy used with regen versus without, it would be a driving pattern that has many start/stops with higher speeds in between. The calculations describe my car's performance quite well.
