My coworker has a hilarious problem. Owns a 2021 GMC Sierra Texas Edition and his girlfriend drives a 2021 Toyota 4Runner. They're both gas hogs and he needs something for the girlfriend to drive that isn't a 4x4 since she doesn't even drive in the winter anyway and the off-road stuff is useless, just wasting gas. So he's gonna either buy a compact SUV or Corolla hybrid. Just another case of someone buying an off-road rig just because it looks cool.

That's a relief.
Regenerative braking is caused by the car's motor spinning backwards to create electricity, having spinners on the wheels would just be added weight and would rely on the inertia while the car is in motion. It sounds like an awesome idea but would be so much added weight to the wheels to have a generator/motor on each hub assembly. Sounds cool though
