Had my first noticeable regen-braking cut-out today.

I was descending a long hill at about 40 MPH and the SOC went up to full 8 bars. Near the end of the decent I was slowing for some traffic lights, braking fairly lightly while hoping for the lights to change before I got to them. Suddenly at about 15 to 20 MPH it felt like the regen cut out really abruptly and it switched to friction only. Presumably the poor battery could take no more charge.

Anyway it didn’t really feel unsafe or anything, just a different feel on the brake pedal. It kinda felt like the pedal pushed down a bit further even though I didn’t increase the pressure with my foot.

 

Yeah I regularly descend this same hill, and often (but not every time) it goes up to full SOC. If I have to come to a complete stop at the traffic lights at the bottom of the hill with all 8 bars SOC showing then it sometimes just starts turning the engine to dump charge while I'm sitting there. If I get the green lights however then after that it's back to flat terrain and I can start using the charge before the car gets upset with me and tries to dump it.
