Regenerative braking does not provide enough energy to recover the charge on a hybrid vehicle's battery on it's own. While coasting will increase the time spent charging the battery, any increase in mileage will be from being a lightfoot, and not from regenerative braking. If the battery runs low, the engine will start up to recharge the battery.

Cameron originally envisioned the Terminator as a small, unremarkable man, giving it the ability to blend in more easily. As a result, his first choice for the part was Lance Henriksen. O. J. Simpson was on the shortlist but Cameron did not think that such a nice guy could be a ruthless killer.
