Found it: 5.2.22.4 : 5.2.22.4. Electric regenerative braking systems as defined in paragraph 2.17 of this Regulation, which produce a retarding force upon release of the accelerator control, shall generate the signal mentioned above according to the following provisions: Vehicle...

Hi, the 1 m/s^2 limit is a type approval rule. Any braking device that can cause higher deceleration than 1 m/s^2 must switchon the brake lights. (Of course, 1 m/s^2 is considered on a flat road with nominal weight - downhill it may well be zero "kinematic" deceleration, but still a braking...

https://www.dropbox.com/s/t7dsyyjogvawz6e/IMG_1516.JPG?dl=0 Hello, can somebody explain/check this? Evbatmon shows 1,87 kW flowing to the battery, while the meter I installed in front of the plug shows 2,13 kW. Is the efficiency of the charger and cable so low (87%) ?

Had little opportunities until now to test off road capabilities. Once I got stuck after the car crept into thawing snow (16" winter pirelli scorpion). With ASC on, no wheel would spin, with ASC off, wheels would spin at dangerous speeds (tacho had a spike of 70 km/h in some tenths of second...

Ok, got the i620 bluetooth dongle, seems to work. However, it happens sometimes, the connection is interrupted and I have to reconnect it. Strangest thing of all: some PIDs cause the app to crash, for example if I add the fuel consumption or the engine load. Anyone experienced the same? :?

Hi! I do have a suggestion. I miss a "long range mode". When I know I'll drive for, say, 200km, 30 of which at low speed and the rest at highway speed, I'd rather have the engine running when above 70 km/h (high efficiency of direct coupling), while saving battery for situations where speed is...

Hello, just came back from two relatively longer trips on highways (2x400km @110km/h true speed) without possibility to charge along them. Let's make a premise: "charge" button pressed below 70km/h (i.e. serial mode) is different from "charge" button pressed above it (i.e. in parallel mode)...

Which is correct for a hybrid car. Underpowered means it will run more often at full load, where it is more efficient. And having electrical assistance means it won't feel underpowered even if it is 8-)

Let's put things in perspective: the 4B11 engine of the OPI is the same engine used on the Lancer Evo, where it delivers 217 kW at 6500RPM. Stripped off the turbo, limited to 4500RPM/87kW and fully controlled by software, I can't imagine this engine to have troubles at all. Just floor it when...
