I live near the base of a mountain, so I suppose my experience will be a bit different from most. So far, going down the mountain I've always ended up with more energy than when I started, so the meter has always showed 0% used for driving. I'll have to try this later on a longer trip, extending...
I see. That makes sense.
BTW I also sometimes notice this even in around-town driving (stop-and-go) - whenever regen braking is used, that energy gain is not accounted for as the chart only shows consumption, so the "temperature loss" part of the display gradually begins to increase to fill the...
During the main downhill section, the beginning SOC was 48% and ending SOC was 52%. I did a similar test just the other day too, with ending SOC significantly more than beginning, and again the trip computer didn't know what to make of that. I'm surprised at the lack of comments here - either...
I did some more tests last weekend and took several photos to share with you here.
The first is 1.8 miles of mostly downhill. As you can see, the meter is claiming that a whopping half of my energy went to "temperature" despite the fact that it was 76 degrees outside. Clearly, "temperature" is...
This was after a 15-mile non-stop descent. There were only a couple of very short level sections which is where the 12.4mi/kwh comes in - the rest (14 miles of the 15) was all downhill, regening the entire way. I should have written down the state of charges at the top and bottom, but I didn't...
Hi! I just purchased my truck last month, and there was this one issue I noticed during a long descent - the trip energy meter was failing to account for energy recovered due to regen braking, and instead erroneously counted that energy as a loss due to "temperature". This has been happening all...
