Intermittent recuperation breaking

[BigBob]

I’ve started to notice recuperative braking doesn’t always seem to be working - no green bar under braking on the power bar.

I’ve noticed it a few times now around 40-50mph and not shortly after start up.
It seems to ‘fix’ itself if you brake a couple of times in short succession.

Anyone else had this? I suspect it will fall heavily into the ‘we can’t reproduce the problem’ camp if I take it in to the garage.
Thanks

That's programmed rotor clearance for 2-3km if it sat for long period of time or recup would come back if you brake harder.

Used most days and it’s after more than a few kms. Eg 20 miles on motorway

ok. It needs fix if driven over 20 miles without regen. my vehicle takes 2km for regen activated if it sat ovenight.

Yep trouble is it starts and stops doing it during a journey. So mechanics will try it once, it’ll probably work and they’ll say can’t replicate fault. Maybe being pessimistic

Maybe related to the cold weather? - I'll watch what mine does next time it's freezing.

Thanks. It’s a bit chilly here, but nothing like some of the temps our friends in US and Scandinavia get. So that shouldnt be affecting it.
