Coasting is better then regen'ing, pretty sure.
If you regen, you have to slow down, only to have to speed back up again, but at a worse efficiency loss than just coasting.
- greglindahl 8y agoWhat do you think happens if the car in front of you is coasting, and you're trying to match its speed?
- nubslayer 8y agowut It's possible to get in an 'envelope' behind another car and get pulled along with it.
- greglindahl 8y agoI wasn't talking about drafting. I was just saying that you can "coast" in a one-pedal car by pressing on the pedal by an appropriate amount... and most drivers will do that every time they drive, because they'll be behind other cars that are coasting.
- nubslayer 8y agoI'm saying that harvesting energy while coasting is probably not efficient.
