Most of my local driving involves frequent stops at traffic lights etc. Consequently, when stopped I engage 'N' (just as I did with a conventional auto-box ICE car) to avoid annoying drivers behind me with footbraking lights and also to avoid wasting battery power. However, it is irritating to constantly reset the regen paddle after re-engaging 'D'.
Am I correct in assuming that power is being dissipated in 'D' when held on the footbrake and would it be better/less safe to use the hand brake in such situations?
