What difference do you see by breaking vs coasting? I am curious because the math doesn't work in my head. If you use 100% of your momentum in the coast down to 0 mph versus recovering 30% or even 50% of it, how does it result in better MPW?

While regenerative breaking is better than two pieces of metal generating waste heat, it does not "make" energy it just doesn't lose as much of it. No regenerative system recovers 100% of the energy. I drive a Leaf and find I get better MPW by not using regenerative braking, but rather...
