hi,
unusual situation yesterday, not had it before. Have now done just under 10,000 miles (16,000Km). Here's the story - After 40 miles (64km) battery empty (30%) going on motorway at 70mph (112km/h) when I went down a modest descent with traffic started to build a bit up ahead so I used B3 and the regen jerked and juddered horribly. Nothing behind me so no immediate drama. But then kept doing that for the rest of the journey (about another 20 miles) in all regen settings (B1/ D / B3 / B4 / B5), Also when braking gently. Very violent as if regen on / off / on / off / on / off. Flow diagram showed constant regen wheel to battery but level jumped wildly. (the power dial jumped from almost full regen to some regen then back). Tried speeds from 50mph to a "large" 70mph, all affected
Anyone experienced before?
Anyone any ideas what it is and what to do if happens again?
It was not pleasant at all. Car charged fine overnight. No dramas today but not flattened battery yet, was only 20 mile journey. Thanks in advance,
HJB
