Thanks to regenerative braking, an EV can harvest a substantial amount of energy when slowing down or going downhill. A recent video chronicling the Hyundai Ioniq 5 taken on a road trip to Loveland Pass and back proves just how effective regen braking is when going downhill.https://www.notebookcheck.net/How-much-charge-would-an-Ioniq-5-EV-recover-when-going-downhill-YouTubers-attempt-to-find-out.874176.0.html
QuoteThat being said, the Ioniq's lane-keeping assist did not particularly impress the presenters. When driving on the highway, adaptive cruise control worked well enough and managed to keep a safe distance from other vehicles. However, the lane-keeping assist function struggled on sections of the highway where the lane markings were less visible, requiring the driver to stay highly engaged.
So, an absolutely useless feature! Might as well just drive it yourself.
I own a Ioniq 5 sel awd. I was just up in the Smokey mountains. From the dome lookout 6500 feet above sea level to the park entrance about 900 feet above sea level. On level 1 regen barely touching the brakes and or the gas pedal we went from 72% to 79% battery power. Was totally shocked at the recovery. Living in Illi ois rarely do you climb a hill taller than 50 to 80 feet high. So it was awesome to see the 7% gain
It's great.
