ICE v Electric: Cost and Emissions

[Harvey]

Regen brake-by-wire charges yer battery to boot.

Tiro, this is not an "also." This is the reason that regen exists. To regenerate the battery.

Yup. Both.
& minimizes dust coming off the pads.
Nobody likes the smell of asbestos in the morning. I wish my ICE machine had magnetic assisted brakes.
Magnets FTW.

Interesting. I don't like using low in the mav for Regen. Because it's, it seems like it beats on the ice and it's not worth a little extra battery charge to really rev. The s*** out of the ice. Engine?

Low for a regenerative breaking setting, I was not referring to low gear (if you were).

Next time you have significant snow try the slippery/snow mode ,I find that it helps. easy to switch modes when roads are better.

Any tips on where to find that mode?Switch thing

Mine is on the steering wheel right side, both left and right switches.
Slip/ snow, eco, normal, sport and tow modes.

It's a weird controller with two buttons

Just got my electric bill and they adjusted my balanced billing up by $100 per month due to me charging my ev at home vs my prior gas powered vehicle I got the ev at the beginning of May, so its not a full year yet, I didn't realize that it would go up that much. So now I see that I am not saving as much as I thought I would.

How much do you pay per kilowatt hour?

And do you have a so-called time of use plan? One should be available. For example, from 10 pm to 6 am, my utility charges 25% of what it charges from 3 to 7 pm. So, I don't charge from 3-7 p.m. If I paid off tap, filling up a Rivian (massive battery) would cost like $10.
