> It's the lack of regeneration that causes ICE powered vehicles to waste energy,
Not just the lack of regen. ICEs waste energy while idling, as heat, noise, and vibration, and mechanical couplings like clutches and especially fluid couplings in automatic transmissions also waste energy. Automatic transmissions in particular are only 90%
mechanically efficient, on top of all the losses from the ICE.
