Question, has anyone done any testing on Battery Usage in both Pure B and D modes? What I mean is... When in Pure mode, you can either select D or B (Regenerative braking). When in B mode you add some power back into the battery when you slow down, but the car seems to use more energy to move forward. It seems like the extra power it uses in B to move, would negate more than it adds back in? Just curious if anyone has done or read any testing on this theory on flat surfaces (not hilly or mountain terrain)
