Coasting can be more efficient. For instance, on the hyundai ioniq 5/6 1 pedal is typically the most efficient mode for around town driving, though a skilled driver may be able to beat it on one of the lower regenerative modes but it its a good deal of cognitive load for marginal benefit. You can also enter into a "auto regenerative mode" when using adaptive cruise control on the highway this mode will mix in coasting and has the highest efficiency.

- Sohcahtoa82 3y agoTrue hypermilers are crazy, IMO. But most drivers can certainly learn from them. When I drive an ICE, I drive like I don't have a brake pedal because it's an evil device that converts cash into heat and brake dust. The light ahead turned red? Take the foot off the gas. No sense maintaining speed if I'm just going to stop. Driving through a large dip? Let the car speed up as you go down so you'll give yourself momentum to climb out. It blows my mind when I see someone driving up hill, notice they're going too fast, and they hit the brakes rather than just let gravity do the job. My previous car was a Subaru BRZ, stickered at 24 mpg city, 30 mpg highway. I averaged 33 mpg. I didn't even drive slow. I just made sure that speed was never wasted unnecessarily.
