I bet it also saves battery so they can advertise a higher number of miles.

- cronix 7y agoYes, charges last longer and the battery degrades slower with lower peak discharges. The same with charging too, though, but most people want to charge as fast as possible.
- cptskippy 7y agoMost EVs have at least 2 modes you can configure. Many ICE vehicles have similar modes. The Nissan Leaf has an "Eco" button that changes the acceleration curve and some models have a Hill Mode toggle on the Shifter that affects the regenerative braking characteristics.
