But seriously, if you're looking into microcontrollers for EV applications, do look at the Atmel AVR chips. They have 32 8-bit registers and a properly designed RISC instruction set. I have the programing gadget for them, as well as the assembler and C compiler (gcc).
One day, in my copious spare time, I'll get one wired up to the Mini-El as a battery monitor. And a GPS interface. Maybe I'll get it to make toast, too...
Now, forgive me, as I'm a bit of a programming virgin. But why would you need more than one register?
