Nope, my point was I thought you always burned fuel on a recharge, irrespective of speed. That would be realistic (after all, the battery is simply storing the energy generated by--you guessed it--the generator, which is turned by (surprise) the diesels).

I understood that recharging at all stop with no fuel consumption was a bug in older SH versions (prior to IV), but I thought it was corrected here. If that bug is still present it is certainly unrealistic and would be nice to have corrected.

Bottom line, it should cost you a certain amount of fuel to place a certain amount of energy into the batteries. Period.
