Any time you use the regular brakes instead of regen is bad for range.You can get better range by NOT using regen or brakes so much.
Maybe you could just slow down and prepare to stop. Regen braking requires a few new habits to form.

I agree ‘Brakes < regen < coasting’Yes, Brakes < regen < coasting
@LionXng and @not4antoher Physics. I edited my previous post to help you two along.

Brakes < Regen < Coasting
From a strictly technical standpoint, if you coast to a stop, this is the most efficient. Also, coasting down a hill and burning off the gained speed(from gravity) going back up the next incline, this is also the most efficient. From an energy efficiency standpoint using regen is ALWAYS worse than just coasting, and using brakes is ALWAYS the worst option.
Regen is a great thing for the final few feet(could be a hundred-ish) when coming to a stop. It is also great for sudden slowdowns due to traffic conditions. Maximizing your coasting is best.

well that could increase EPA rating. These "government approved tests" are always susceptible to micro tweaking so as to "do better on" without actually raising the bar IMO.From my understanding they're not removing regenerative braking. They're only removing the "low" setting so that regenerative braking is there, on 'standard' mode, for everyone with a later build car.

How about when you want to stop the vehicle?
You can coast with regen standard by adjusting gas pedal.
Exactly. For long highway trips, it’s actually more efficient to set regen to Low.
