So it’s embarrassing to have got to nearly a year’s ownership and only just realised I don’t really understand the regen side of the power gauge.
Sometimes the “available” blue sectors reach all the way down the left side of the gauge, and if I’m slowing fast from a high speed they all light up. But sometimes they only reach a handful of sectors down. I think I had vaguely assumed it was to do with speed, but it isn’t (I paid attention yesterday, at varying speeds).
It appears - and this is logical - to be to do with SOC. However, although I can understand that at 100% SOC there is little if any room for regen, I wasn’t up to full availability for quite some time - I noticed it at 73%, may have been earlier. There seems to be at least one intermediate stage between the minimum available and fully available.
Any insights? And is this another reason for trying to limit the normal SOC to between 20-80?
