That is more than offset by the extra current required to climb the ramp in the first place. If you are thinking that it will just give you a bit of extra range after charging overnight, no dice there either, a fully charged battery has no spare capacity to store the regen energy. It just...

I used to drive a taxi. A high percentage of passengers were drunk, but very few actually puked in the car. Those closest to puking had friends riding along to alert me to stop or roll down the window. Much easier to hose off the exterior than Febreze the seats. Had to clean interior vomit...
