Most eco mode

[S.K]

I'm just giving an example, it doesn't require a long downhill climb. This will happen on a slight slope or on a flat road.
I would often coast past other vehicles in whisper mode, even while braking.
The same situation can only be achieved by stepping on the accelerator in Engage mode.
I did test different modes multiple times on the same stretch of road.

Coasting does not regenerate the battery. Engaged may slow the car faster but it is regenerating the car more also so it seems it would be about the same amount of energy.

Why so concerned with eco? Trying to extend your range. Have fun driving how you want and you'll still be more efficient than a prius.

Fun driving most of the time is the norm, if I am traveling a longer distance, I like to see how to push it without having to inch along.

Do you see a difference with one peddle mode vs two peddle driving when coming to efficiency? I know city driving maybe best with one peddle mode but when traveling on country roads and highway, I wonder if it is better to do the two peddle drive?

There will be no difference unless you brake so hard that you engage the brake pads.

Contrary to what everyone thinks, slowing down does not necessarily save power. Sometimes you have to speed up to save power.

Try testing your efficiency at 80 and at 50 mph. If you get the same efficiency, please let us know what magic coating you are using on your car.

We'll wait to hear back.

It depends on your drive mode and how you drive.

This is one place where Whisper has an efficiency advantage over Unbridle. Whisper brakes more slowly and may be a bit more efficient. Engage feels more like a downshift engine-braking and has a performance feel compared to Whisper. Hard acceleration and deceleration is inherently less efficient. However, feathering the accelerator during 1PD regenerative braking can have the same result.

Just because you have to be on the throttle to coast in engage/unbridle/1pedal doesn’t mean you’re using battery. The power meter on the left will show you that. Since letting complete off the throttle starts regenerating you need to hold the throttle a bit to actually coast. It’s something that comes with practice.

Only if you have a GT or have added the power meter with FORScan.

Hi MachE owners, I am a bit confused, I have not seen any material to say what the most eco mode is on the MachE.
Whisper mode seems best for slippery conditions but on YouTube, they state that all modes will be eco. Go figure.
Any suggestions?

Shhhh. They’re sleeping. Whispering mode. I used it around town etc. freeway I like engaged or unbridled

Physical braking is a complete waste of energy, and regenerative braking still wastes a large amount of energy.
When you drive with Engage, Unbridled or one pedal drive, you will inevitably use regeneration most of the time. Even with superb speed control and frequent use of neutral, the use of regeneration cannot be completely avoided.
In Whisper mode, you will coast in neutral most of the time when you release the accelerator. You can avoid wasting more energy.

Whether it is country roads or highways, in most cases one peddle mode wastes more energy than two peddles.
If your driving pattern frequently involves very intense acceleration and very intense deceleration. Then one peddle mode may save more energy than two peddle, and Unbridled may also save energy than whisper.

If you accelerate violently to avoid a red light, or if you accelerate violently to overtake, you can avoid using the brakes, or if there are multiple continuous uphill and downhill slopes, violent acceleration combined with coasting at a specific location can save you more energy

i am not sure I understood what you meant in this thread.

I don’t understand your logic here. Energy under 1pd has to go somewhere. Unless you experience more heating, energy not absorbed back is moving you forward. Heat, re-absorption, or forward motion. Is there a fourth outlet?
