There's no 'or', really. That kinetic energy you're capturing with regen braking, you got that by burning gas. All your energy comes from burning gas.

Unless it has a plug, it's a gas car.

And if it's a plugin hybrid, it's the worst of both worlds.

They really aren't. I have a couple friends with them and they can go months without buying gas.
