There's a lot of kinetic energy in a 30,000 pound motorhome rolling down the road at 75 MPH! :B
Expect to buy tires more frequently if the light duty car tires are used to stop a 30k lb MH.
I don’t know. I kinda see where Valhalla is going. When regen is happening it is like stepping on the brakes fairly firmly. It regenerates at up to 80 KW. (Imagine an 80 kw generator on a trailer behind you :)). If it was only activated on braking sure, but if purposely used for recharging those (expensive) tires are going to wear down quick. Personally I would never charge the car by regeneration, and we towed an EV behind our pusher for 5 years. (Albeit on a trailer soooo).
