I don’t think any of the ideas are really new. We talked about most of those in Auto Tech class in 1984. I like the idea of the brakes collecting energy combined with the Electric rack and AC compressor. If the battery technology could drop some weight of batteries this could be a nice upgrade that could be retro fitted into an old car.
