So, no input from CC? Patrick, Joe, Thomas?

After thinking about it a bit more, I really don't think it will be easy to determine actual charge amount. Motor inductance is an important factor, as well as magnetic strength, slotted vs slotless, etc - and these are not available specs. I was just hoping there was some "magic" approximate calculation. So, I think the best that can be done is to simply determine how much kinetic energy is "stored" in a moving vehicle of X weight, stopping in Y seconds. Not much use I think.
