Mkl22 Supersonic February 19, 2024 Share February 19, 2024 I don’t think there is any diff to using more regen mode vs stepping on the brake pedal. Unless you stomp on the pedal. Pressing the brake will always activate regen then finally the physical brake pads. It’s just a matter of getting used to it. was ok with the model3 regen at the lowest setting. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to my app, I am usually able to go under 20kw/hr in consumption, which I think is good for a dual motor EV 😀 From my limited research of other models - For models without paddle shifters, it also seems that they only have regen on/off and don't have variable levels of regen - this is iX1 and XC40 (and EX30 since I was told its the same), so you can't set the level of regen to something you are familiar with. I guess that is your version of driver involvement.... 😆 Still prefer my paddelshifters to downgear to 3rd gear before entering a bend and power out of the bend at apex and upshift with the paddleshift as the rev climb.

Some cars has only on (1 pedal) and off (2 pedals). With paddle, you can have some rolling rather immediate braking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon82 Moderator March 4, 2024 Share March 4, 2024 Facelift unveiled. Subtle changes on the exterior (the car does look better) and substantial changes inside, with more buttons and more. The facelifted range of the Ioniq 5 gains the larger 84 kWh battery pack borrowed from the flagship Ioniq 5 N, which replaces the 77.4 kWh unit of the outgoing model. The increase in battery capacity has a positive effect on the electric range, although Hyundai has yet to announce the official figures. Bear in mind that the existing Ioniq 5 with the 77.4 kWh battery pack has an EPA range of up to 488 km or a WLTP range of up to 507 km. The company didn’t mention any changes to the single and dual-motor electric powertrains, which produced anywhere between 168 hp / 125 kW / 170 PS and 321 hp / 239 kW / 325 PS in the existing Ioniq 5, excluding the Ioniq 5 N which makes 641 hp / 478 kW / 650 PS. The facelift EV will be available in Korea this month and later in other markets. Expect it to hit our shore by end of Q2 or early Q3. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't comment for iX1. As I also drive the XC40 Recharge, regeneration still takes place even if One Pedal Drive (OPD) mode has been toggled OFF. When OPD is OFF, the car coasts as you lift off so its pretty much like a conventional automatic. As you step on the foot brake, you can still clearly see the regen meter within the driver's display swing down as its charges up the battery (aka regen). With OPD switched ON, I realized just how well Volvo has calibrated their OPD (non configurable with either ON or OFF) to be after test driving other EVs as well. There is really no need for different levels of regen if that 1 setting has been superbly well calibrated for all traffic conditions. I know Polestar 2s have different settings for OPD, and it is based on the same CMA platform as my XC40.
