Bowser in addition to the levels mentioned above, there is an auto regen setting that has some logic built into it, plus the IONIQ will actually use regen first if you hit the brakes lightly vs engaging the brakes. Saves brake wear and slows the car similarly.

I think I recall seeing a video that mentioned a setting to turn regen off at highway speeds but haven’t gone looking for it.

i thought 0 was no regen? plus i think the auto setting will do less/no regen if there's no one ahead so car realizes it can coast?

what do you normally use by the way? i leave mine on 3. that doesn't come to a complete stop, but i find the i-pedal (which will) too aggressive. i think tesla's no setting works very intuitively and well.
when using 3, i'll use the left paddle to slow the car more and that will go all the way to stopped and the car will stay stopped after releasing the paddle.

Regen is never really completely off, it's just not used while coasting, but as Dave mentioned, it will use regen when hitting the brakes lightly. With Tesla, it's now 'always on', but it doesn't jerk you around like it did in the past. Whenever I drove the Polestar, I set it on full regen, and when I drive the Ioniq, I also set it on "4" as I'm now used to OPD

i don't think there's a 4, lol, just 0, 1, 2, 3 and I-PEDAL but maybe the last is what you mean by 4. if by OPD you mean is able to come to a complete stop then yes only the I-PEDAL does that, but it's too aggressive for me. it also won't stay in that mode when the car is turned off. so i just stay with 3 most of the time and use the paddle to get more regen if needed.
i think tesla's implementation is better.

Yes, I meant I-Pedal . It's a lot more aggressive then Tesla's, but I like using only 1 pedal and not having to touch the brakes

As I understand it, there are some key differences between Tesla and many other EVs when it comes to brakes. With Tesla, if you aren't using 1PD and you press the brakes, you're always and only getting friction braking. With others that have blended braking, if you press the brakes you will get regen braking to the extent the car can deliver the braking you want using regen before switching to friction brakes. On mine, for example. regardless of whether you're in 1PD or not or whether you use the brake pedal or ease off the throttle in 1PD, it will always use regen to brake to the maximum extent it can.

No, thats not correct.

Tesla uses blended braking by default regardless of whether you have 1PD enabled or not.

It uses max regen when the battery is at the optimal temperature - generally above 10C ambient temperature.

This is totally true. You can actually hear the brakes engage, a clicking sound of the brake pedal. The friction brakes are used more when fully charged, or temps are low

I'm sure you know this, but you need to enable that. It's off by default.

Completely the opposite. Friction brakes are used more when the battery is fully charged (thus regen is deliberately reduced to protect the battery) and exactly the same thing in cold temps - regen is reduced and friction brakes are engaged more to protect the cold battery..

This is the default behavior - you don't enable it. It just happens.

​​​​​​You can change the regen setting to be less manually if you choose to do so, however regen is automatically less in the conditions I described above to protect the battery.

Ioniq 9 revealed prior to LA Auto Show. The side profile and overall shape is...something. I'd opt for the EV9 instead.







https://www.theverge.com/2024/11/20/...ctric-suv-laas

The Ioniq 9 is a battery-electric three-row SUV based on the Seven concept that the company showed off in 2021. The new EV is built on Hyundai’s E-GMP platform, which underpins all the other electric Hyundais on the market, including the Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6, and Ioniq 5N. And it will have a 110.3kWh battery that Hyundai said should get more than 300 miles of range for all models.
