Somewhere on this forum someone explained that the "L" gear is basically all electronic and I *THINK* they also said it was mostly regerative braking.

From my experience watching the NAV system and the regen guage, they both show recharging when you lift your foot in "L" gear... In "D" they don't unless you are going downhill. So I think it makes alot of sense.

It takes a bit of getting used to the fact that we own a vehicle that NEEDS the A/C to work properly...
