Hi,
We live on a steep hill. So I unplug the car and leave the house. The car has charged to my
personal choice of 80%. I only have to leave the garage, coast down and out of the driveway,
and I'm on a steep down (15%) for about 1/2 mile.
Does regenerative braking pay attention to the 'charge limit' - or will it charge above that
limit?
The reason I'm asking is that - it seems to me - that the full on braking of the regenerative
braking doesn't work (as well) unless the car has been driven enough to get it below that
limit set in the charging. For example, if I leave the house and come back for something
and then leave again without charging - the MX will keep the speed lower than it did the
first time down the hill. Or is this just my perception?
