Has anyone ever considered the range effectiveness of coasting vs regenerative braking? It occurred to me that I get better range by coasting without the regen...
I would say it is all a matter of drivingcomfort. Yes, coasting will give you better range than using regen when you don't need to brake. I don't know the...

... This thread has gained my interest. My '91 Force is clearly a prototype but regen is started and controlled solely by the brake peddle. If I let up the...

Southern California Gas and Electric proved that milage is better with regen off on their fleet of Rav-4's in the late 90's under freeway driving conditions....
I'd agree that it is related to how and where you drive. For rural driving with major hills, using regen definitely extends range. Without it, I'd be riding...
I'm sure that this is a subject that has been discussed here before but, as a new member and a new owner of a Solectria Flash truck I could use some advice. My...
Could you tell us some information about the motor and controller. Do you have a manual? Is there an "ignition box"? I would check the contacts on the Fwd/Rev...
John, Several months ago my force was going slow and I put in a new battery pack. Well imagine my surprise when I took it on its first run with the new...

Yes Mike has it right. I have been driving for 5 years with regen. If your not making ICE drivers mad your not getting maximum EV range. It is always better to...
When you connect to a controller, whether it is a BRUSA, or UMOC, or the DMOC, what are the variables that can be changed/viewed? I can think of the highest...
I think the Brusa has the fewest parameters and the DMOC the most. I know with the DMOC most of the parameters have no meaning to me because I don't...
Hi John, Your description of 30mph top speed with lots of torque has another possible explanation. Solectria used 3 phase AC motors which can be wired up two...
