I was driving the other day and it occurred to me that the regen power indicator seems wrong.
The faster I accelerate, the greater the drain on the battery. But correspondingly, the faster I decelerate, the greater the charge (foot off the brake). Two sides of Newton's first law.
But my SE shows that basically, the faster I change speeds, the greater the battery cost. I see lower positive mi/kwh the faster I accelerate, which makes sense. But I see smaller absolute values (less negative) for mi/kwh the faster I'm decelerating--if, while slowing down, I take my foot completely off the accelerator, mi/kwh goes from, say -3.0 to -0.8. That can't be right. I wonder if it is a bug in the software.
