But a braking cornering car loses all energy, while a Prius does not.
Also, the newer Toshiba batteries will take all the charge created, so
even more efficient when they come out.

The motors will have efficiency losses on both conversions regardless of
the battery which will no doubt have some of it's own and no wiring is
lossless unless supercooled, so the 1G cornering car is lossless apart
from tyre friction the Prius is not. Boy are you thick.
