Default Re: Mountain driving tips?

For going up long and really steep roads, there's not a lot you can do. On the way down, coast as much as possible. If you need to slow down, you can try shifting to second to get more regeneration. On long downward slopes, your battery charge will be full pretty quickly and you may have to start using your real brakes.
