Clarification...
They run the alternator with a light load. The alternator warning lamp is irrelevant.

By 2015 BMW may have a car that is near to the 1st generation Prius. If you are going to do it, do it properly and do a proper hybrid, and stop fiddling around the edges.
They should do what Chevrolet is doing with the Chevy Volt. The car is only powered by an electric motor.

You mean make a car which is horrid to drive, can't go round corners, drives on a motorway like a Morris Minor with a duff cylinder and uses more fuel than large petrol autos?
Not BMW. When they do bring out a hybrid it will be properly done.

So probably even out at best. Chemical batteries store a lot of energy but because of the state change, they charge and discharge slowly. A car braking will not take all the kinetic energy. Using a supercapacitor virtually all the kinetic energy will be clawed back, then this can be used accelerate the car using an electric motor.

The same can be done with a/c. A heavy clutch on the a/c compressor that only engages the compressor when on engine overrun or braking. This would mean an eco switch on the dash, to use in normal everyday running and a "constant" (always on) for sustained M'way driving. Then it costs nothing to run the a/c when in eco mode.

Is there no end to your ignorance? Every car AC system already has a clutch twixt drive and compressor. And that has to be controlled by a pressure switch - otherwise the system could freeze.

That is about all it is worth, and the thick suck it in. There is no way is stops a car using it as a break. This 2nd rate maker should concentrate on doing real hybrids, not phaffing about with crap.
