Afternoon,
Right now I understand that the Mach E has the ability to enable/disable one pedal driving mode. I believe the regen force for one-pedal mode is the same no matter the drive mode you are in but right now that's basically all of my understanding around the system.
Question dump that I have been jotting down - mostly been thinking about this and mild googling hasn't been that helpful.
1. In non one-pedal mode - do you 'coast' when you lift - off the accelerator - like the Porsche Taycan? Or do you still experience some mild regen - albeit just at a much lower level than in one-pedal mode?
2. How much deceleration is there in one pedal or non-one pedal mode. Measured in negative Gs? anyone?
3. What is the maximum regen capability in optimal conditions (eg- 5kw? 10kw?)
4. I'm assuming max power input from regen and max deceleration may happen at different speeds - anyone know? IE - max decel is .2g until you reach 10kw and then decel decreases if you are at the 10kw limit? (made up numbers here)
5. When you are in lift-off decel in one-pedal mode - is that already maximum regen? Will braking increase regen? Up to what point? The max kw input level?
6. In regards to 'coasting' - if you balance your accelerator right at the point just before regen begins - are you in essence 'coasting' or moving with the least possible energy cost? Would putting it in neutral reduce motor losses while ' coasting' ?
7. Can the Mach E be tow charged? (watched this in the long way up with the Rivian prototypes - seemed like a cool feature)
8. I believe the Mach-E always blends braking / regen when using the brake pedal (unlike tesla where the pedal is mechanical only, regen is lift-off only, right?). Are there more details on how the blending on the Mach E works? Maybe in regard to the different options (awd or rwd, regular or extended batt?)
9. I have read many different things about the regen in the Mach E from reviewers ranging from its regen being light, to perfect, to aggressive. I have also read about the blended braking being fine, weird feeling, nice etc. Has anyone determined if there are marked differences between how the RWD vs AWD models regen? I would assume there is regen occurring on the front axle in the AWD model which may change how things feel but is it really done on the front axle of awd models?
10. One-Pedal - coming to a full stop. I have not experienced one-pedal braking before, never had an EV. I assume as you approach 0mph the deceleration lessens to provide a smoother stop. Anyone know how it actually happens? Is the stop pretty comfortable? I already drive like a limo driver as im basically shuttling the family everywhere and I like to try to be a smooth as possible. ** extra nerd points if someone has a deceleration curve plotted or something.
Bonus - as far as i know actual free wheeling / coasting is the more energy efficient method of slowing down on flat ground up to a certain speed (usually higher speeds where air resistance starts to play a bigger role). Does anyone know if thats the case with the Mach E - and what the breakover speed would be where coasting vs regening would change as the priority? I understand that downhill you basically always want to regen in order to maintain a safe speed and get nice bonus range.
