New owner here, I am trying to figure out the advantage of having the B regen option (whatever you want to call it) which gives you better regeneration when not stepping on the gas pedal (is it called gas pedal, or electric pedal? maybe power pedal?)
If I am going down a large hill followed by a long flat road. Do I:
Switch to B and get as much regen as possible down the hill and then drive normally on the flat road (since I regenerated energy, I can go further down the flat road)
or
Do I just let it coast picking up more speed than if it was in B regen which would help with momentum and get me further down the flat road.
Basically, to narrow it down without getting too much into physics. Does the regeneration using the B option ever generate more power than the momentum/kinetic energy from letting it coast down a hill? my guess is no, and is always best to coast and avoid regen at all except when breaking.
