How does it enhance range? Just apply light pressure to the accelerator. The energy meter shows that almost no energy is being used or that you are storing some energy and the car continues to coast forward. It is equivalent to letting the car coast in an ICE car. Let go of the accelerator completely and you get heavy regen and the car slows down fast.
I'm not sure how much range regen braking adds. I do know that it will save your brakes. I hardly use the brake pedal with regen braking. Only took a couple days to get used to it and to figure out when to release the accelerator and by how much to get the car to slowly come to a stop before the light.
you misunderstood the situation. someone was suggesting that "low regen" setting was needed to increase range by coasting more. ym1973 (and many others) have responded saying this is pretty easy to modulate with the accelerator pedal. In actuality, the low-regen setting is not that great at coasting like an ICE car; it slows the car down much faster. So if you really want to coast, modulate the accelerator pedal. It really isn't that hard. People are just stubborn about changing from their old ways.
I love the regen braking; however, when I first leave hone I see message regen not working. After a short distance it does. Anyone with this issue?
When do you charge your car? If you schedule it to finish charging about the time you leave in the morning, then the battery should be warmed up and you should have regen available or the time with limited regen should be shorter.
This actually isn't an "issue." I really hate to be one of those guys that says "read the manual," but... This is normal operation of the car, and is explained in detail in the manual if you wanna have a look-see. I hate manuals as much as anyone else, but in this case, it's worth making an exception and reading it start to finish.
