    Can I just ask, do PHEVs have the same degree of regenerative braking that EVs do? I presume that they do. Assuming that they do, can this be adjusted? I’m beginning to wonder if some of the things that I didn’t like about the EV driving experience may also be present in PHEVs as well ?

    Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV had 6 different setting which can be set using the paddles, D2 being the default mode D zero no regeneration, I tended to use D5 maximum regeneration it gave the maximum range in the summer and giving virtually one pedal operation.

    Suzuki Across PHEV not paddle adjustment, in ECO/Standard mode similar the the Outlander D2 mode, however I prefer Sports mode it gives similar D5 regenaration to the Outlander, both PHEV have drive by wire throttle so it just throttle position.

    There is a technic to driving a PHEV efficiently which you will quickly master.

     

    Unfortunately I have suffered a brain injury and occasionally I get confused and often say the wrong thing.
