Trip meter failing to factor in regen energy

[TaxmanHog]

Only a small number of folks are driving up and down mountainsides.

Once you've gotten onto normal terrain, mild hills & dales or flat grounds, how long before the "This Trip" normalizes?

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 the flat land portion at the end to use up all the energy gained, and see how the meter reads then. I suspect it will probably normalize once the net energy usage becomes positive. It'll be a few days before I have time to try this.

Ford Pass use to have a Driving Logs tab that would tell you how many miles during your trip, mi/kwh, and how many miles you gained from Regenerative Braking. They pulled it a few months ago because the data was buggy, but when it worked it was nice to look at. Hopefully they bring back a cleaner version in the future.
