But only at 1.5 kW for L1, or maybe 6 kW at L2...
But even the motor in the Prius is a 50 kW motor and so during maximum
REGEN it can push 50 kW into the battery
I see this all the time when I go up to the ski hill. I start about 80% at the
bottom, arrive with 40% or so and then when I get back down I am back to 60%
(all rough figures but in the ball park). Without the recovery on the way down
I would probably need to stop and charge on the way home.
This is a pretty good explanation:
