Default Re: Any enterprising person want to disable IMA?

The regeneration level decreases as battery level goes up, but depending on how light your foot is on the gas pedal, it still often uses 1-2 bars of regeneration at a high battery level. Maybe not 90%, come to think of it... maybe that's only when coasting... but I know, even at 50% battery, it still uses regeneration when the gas pedal is pressed and it's annoying.

I may try experimenting with "S" mode. From very brief tests on regular roads, it seems to use alot of regeneration but very little assist, so maybe I can use it to accelerate onto the highway without using too much assist, so I won't be hurt with the regeneration later... I'll see.
