If we were to recover all of this energy, in 8 seconds, the battery would need to absorb all that power at 1250kW. For reference, the fastest quick chargers today support up to 300kw but no car currently can charge at this speed. The T8 can only support 3.7kW charging by cable. My guess is that under regenerative braking it can absorb more but still nowhere near the 1250kW needed.

This is where ultracapacitors come in, they can take very high current but don't have the same energy density as batteries. They're the perfect candidate for getting the most out of regenerative braking. I wonder if the B cars will use supercapacitors? Last year Volvo signed a deal with Maxwell for ultracapacitors.
The maximum power the system can capture when breaking is limited by the peak power of the emotor so it varies depending upon the deceleration speed.
