Recuperation mode?

[fakedevil]

Do folks drive with recuperation mode on all the time? is there a way for me to have it enabled all the time? Is there any major difference with or without it??

I have it on all the time - you can't automate it, you have to press the button. I turn it on before I drive each time.

It all comes down to preference. Do you like the car to coast when lifting the throttle pedal, or do you prefer it to slow down a bit kind of like an ICE car does? I’m on the latter camp.

I drive with both overrun recuperation on and off, even going back and forth multiple times during the same commute. I find off (coasting) less fatiguing, great for traffic that doesn't have a lot of changes in speed or where I don't need to constantly get on the brake to keep distance from cars around me. If I'm in a situation where overrun recuperation is off, but I find myself having to control the speed of the car with the brake, it makes much more sense to have it on.

For example, overrun recuperation on is much better for turns that are descending and/or descending in radius that require you to either slow down or hold speed through the turn. If you had it off, you'd be riding the brake...and no one likes that. Also, when you need to get on the accelerator to pass but need to control your speed immediately after. It's much better to get on the accelerator then ease off, instead of getting on the accelerator then getting on the brake.

Balance of the car is key!

Most of the time I drive in automated recuperation. It turns out that 99% it’s accurate in choosing to either coast or recuperate, at least for where and how I drive.

Always off for me, the car coasts for miles which is super efficient

Always on for me. I find it unnatural to lift off the throttle and have the car maintain the same speed. I prefer the car to slow itself a bit like an ICE car.
