What purpose does the energy recovery serve if the it's being charged all the way along the track? Why is he using a trackpad when using CAD? Any normal person cannot stomach the thought.
The purpose of energy recovery when being charged by the track is to lower the total energy usage of the track. Your question is a bit like "what's the purpose of energy recovery systems when the car is ultimately being powered by fuel?"
And re use of a trackpad, two points - 1) this is a marketting video, not a guy actively doing work on a car, the aim is to make things look clean, and well presented. Mice hanging around on desks don't do that. 2) Actually, most people using Macs do actually use trackpads most of the time, because they're substantially better than anyone else's track pads. So much so that many people prefer to use a stand alone Apple trackpad with their desktop, rather than a mouse.
