I haven't come across anyone that tells just how much energy regenerative braking adds to the battery. Is there any studies on this?

56%. That's pretty good. Better than I expected. Do you do a lot of level or mountainous driving? It would be cool to be able to click on something on the display to show daily, weekly, monthly, annual stats. Or maybe in the app. Thanks for sharing this info.Your car keeps stats on that, but you would need to connect directly to the computer to see that info. Here is my car with Scan My Tesla:

Keep in mind that “coasting” is more efficient than regen. So if the car had no regen it doesn’t necessarily mean you would have charged the car 5,572 KWh more without it.Looks like 15% to me.
DC + AC + Regen totals = 38,261, of this Regen is 5,572, so 5,572 / 38.261 = 15%. I think.

Sorry about that And I hate double negatives.Had to read that a couple of times ;-)

Problem is you can’t always coast. So effective savings from regen is something less than 15%.
And I haven't come across any place that tells me how much energy is burned by using brakes, though I can see that the brakes get worn and have to be replaced on gas cars. I would say that regen depends on how you drive. You can push the brake pedal to stop, or you can start slowing down early and let regen bring you to a complete stop so you hardly use the brakes at all. I'm in the second camp, and don't figure to replace my brakes EVER, which is another cost saved by owning a Tesla over owning any gas car.I haven't come across anyone that tells just how much energy regenerative braking adds to the battery.

You can coast without regen by not lifting your foot as far. Just lift enough to get the speed where it would have been when coasting. You can see in your display when it is and isn’t regenerating. You can also feel it in the deceleration that clearly accompanies regen. Don’t lift your foot enough to give that feeling.My argument on that is, I don't necessarily want regen anyway when I can't coast. Driving around town, using brakes to stop, I'm never far from home. Who cares how efficient it is. But on the highway where I'm trying to cover many miles I want no regen so that I can coast at slowdowns and downhills and be more efficient.
I guess their calculators say regen all the time and no blended braking is the most optimal for the most drivers. But I don't think it is for me.
Not 50 percent. You have to compare to the total. It’s about 30% which is pretty good56%. That's pretty good. Better than I expected. Do you do a lot of level or mountainous driving?
