Regeneration is only about 20% efficient. It saves you more power to
coast (not expend power) than to regenerate (try and re-capture power
you've already spent at 20% efficiency).
True, if you are high up, you can regain a lot of power, because you
have a lot of potential energy....but it took you a lot more energy to
get up there in the first place.

Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems to me that this is largely a moot
point unless you plan to never descend from the higher ground. A well
designed EV should recover a large portion of the additional expended energy
via regeneration on the descent, n'est-ce pas?

Politics is almost as exciting as war, and quite as dangerous.
In war you can only be killed once, but in politics many times.
