Now that I think of it I have no idea even how the regen braking works, wether part of the mechanical brakes or friction applied somewhere else. Wiki or Honda websites are of no help.
not true, I get charging while going uphill (4% grade) at 85mph. It charges when it has a chance, and doesn't need all the power from the gas motor.
