Why do you reject the idea? It's been my observation that the degree of regen (evidenced by how far the power gauge goes into the green regen zone) for one "V" of regen displayed is the same as when no "V" is shown, hence my view that level 1 regen is the normal operation of the car.
Neither does our Tesla, but we can dial up or dial down the amount of regen - and on its heaviest setting, the effect is pretty close to stopping. Again, though, I think it may depend strongly on the regen implementation by individual mfgrs.
if you keep it in sport EV and pull the L paddle to max regen it stays at max until you turn it off otherwise regular EV max it turns off after you hit the go pedal
OK, I un-reject the idea after failing to detect a difference between one "V" and no "V" today. My rejection was based on Clarity Owners Manual saying, "Using the deceleration paddle selector situated on the steering wheel, you can sequentially shift through four stages of deceleration." I couldn't fathom why Honda would have 4 "V" symbols when one of the "V" symbols is not only meaningless, but confusing. It would be more intuitive to just say there are 3 stages, display a maximum of 3 "V" symbols, and then make the + paddle able to return to the default deceleration level with the tug that erases the last "V" symbol? Why make the driver tug and hold the paddle to erase the last "V" symbol?
