Technology / Re: Does regenerative braking have a hazardous complication?
« Last post by paul cotter on Today at 18:53:56 »Hi Halc. When I take my foot off the "pedal", call it what you want, regenerative braking starts immediately. This is an automatic with park, reverse, neutral, drive and "B", there is no 1 and 2 as on a regular automatic. The B position is for more extreme regenerative braking. If I dropped down through the gears in a manual the retardation could easily be similar but this is not quite comparable as I see it as it depends on one's driving habits. In Ireland when changing down in a manual the recommended method is to lightly touch the brakes as one disengages the clutch and then to take one's foot off the break when the lower gear has been accessed and then to repeat as necessary. Not saying I do this but if done, the following driver sees the momentary brake applications. Rules may be different in the states.
