It is not only the guy in the service department don't seem to understand what you are talking about! I don't understand as well but here is simple sketch showing how B settings are remapping the accelerator pedal. If one set B to be more than 0 portion of accelerator pedal is becoming a...

This tilt based regen without Artificial Intelligence build in to the vehicle will be a joke. BTW if you want your vehicle to keep coasting at roughly the same speed as you say just activate the cruise control. On a hilly terrain will waste the same amount of energy. ;)

The deal is your journey don't stop one mile in to the descent. The goal is to go as much further and possibly over the approaching hill with less energy so B0 is best unless one have to slowdown for any reasons. LowOnCash is describing wide variety of vehicle usage and generalizing. Coasting...

Au contraire it is very accurate statement. The electric motor cannot propel and regenerative brake simultaneously. It is like to say on conventional gas engine you are stepping on the accelerator and the engine is working like a motor brake the same time! Even if it was possible (with...

Ok multiple runs without grid charging between, I got it.

What do you mean it will be too late to turn OFF the HVAC and try to stay warm!? Probably you meant to tun it ON but it should be already ON if you were using the heat-pump. BTW if one set the temperature to anything warm the engine should have been ruining at those -15ºC

The question is... will the vehicle BMU figure out what is going on and how will manage it. Charging the additional battery with this setup seems questionable as well.

On Save the battery don't go down, just oscillate around the point at which you activate it. Probably you meant Normal instead of Save. Charging in cold is the actual problem for the battery health but I get it, there is no other way to operate the vehicle. It will always use the battery. It is...

Can you share your routine in minimizing battery usage?

If one is going to use the vehicle in the winter at all then preconditioning with its low power draw will only help the battery to activate it a bit and precondition the battery as well. I am minimizing full charges and discharges though, since I can with my short commute.

I always drive in B5 as well. (One pedal driving) Was just wandering how he expect B5 to work if not like currently designed. One cannot design the system to suddenly switch from acceleration to hard regen. B5 once let of the accelerator like he suggest.

Yea around 50% then, do you have the exact state of health? Your vehicle is not worthless though, like the guy said right?

Ha, to start the gas engine intentionally... most people struggle to keep the engine off in mid 40F even. BTW I am disabling the engine on short trips during the winter, third year already and my battery health is better than similar vehicles. (84% 2018 60k)

So when set to B5 and you take the foot of the accelerator your vehicle will suddenly goes in to hard regenerative braking without any control of fade-away sense...! Why would anyone want that? When one set it to B5 and starts releasing the accelerator it will go seamlessly from acceleration to...

2014 vehicle are still on the road without any problems, less EV mileage but still running strong. Once the battery reach around 60% it don't fade any further or fast.

Of course only on the highway. Like Save or any engine use should be on highway if possible. That's why Charge is useful... to accumulate charge on highway and avoid using the engine in slow speeds.

Yea but what are the temperatures in your area right now? ;-)

It's not very good for the main traction battery to stay fully charged for 3 months...

The fuel consumption in parallel mode (engine charging the battery as well as power the wheels) is not increased! Increased compared to what btw? Even the opposite, parallel mode is the most efficient way to use the engine.

Malfunctioning relay won't void warranty... just saying.
