Foil Assist Battery management

Say you have ride out to a peak that is a bit far, or that the rides you are getting are very long so getting back to the peak involves lots of motoring time.

What is more efficient battery wise? :

-Ride out on your belly without foiling (say 40% Power for my setup).

-Get on foil and ride out at minimal power to stay on foil (say 60% power for my setup).

Turtle or Hare?

If it’s 40 vs 60 being up on foil wins easily.

I checked this a while ago, for me going slow was beating being on foil up to about 8km\h.

But that got me to about 25% of power consumption vs being on foil, not like your 40/60.
