I think you fail to comprehend that hybrid technology has its limits and usually works only in stop & go traffic.
In highway cruising the batteries and electric motors are dead weight, unless you come to short grades, where electric motors can give you limited boost.
And no, batteries dying in regenerative charging are not a myth.
All cars with it seldom pass 3- years on batteries and AGM batteries for those cars are not cheap. I think you misunderstood regenerative charging for hybrid charging. Hybrid use multi-thousand dollars batteries, who are different animals.
Come to forum more often >>> you might learn something :C
