I don't know *the* number. But I do know *a* number. The distance
that an electric vehicle can travel in city traffic on a given
set of batteries is extended by at best 10% if it uses regen
braking. Hardly worth it for the extra complexity and stress on
the electrics. Economies in other areas can had to achieve this
figure or better.
I remember this figure from some years ago; I was disappointed
to hear it to be so low.
