Regen and pre conditioning

[Coffs]

How does the car handle regenerative braking if the battery is at 100%? Does it just go into full conventional braking mode?

I ask because when I don't precondition and drive to work I start at 90% and it goes down (yeah dude that's how it works)

But when I precondition I start at 90 but by the time I get down the nearest hill I can see 92%

I don't want to overtax the battery and I've got a long journey coming up, starting the same route but I will be leaving with 100%

Don't worry about it. The car will handle it.

When I go on a long trip, I charge to 100% and precondition (if it’s cold). I can’t perceive any difference in regen behavior. Terrain is relatively flat here, I’m not sure if it would be different if I lived on top of a mountain.

When you charge to 100% the battery isn’t 100% full. The total capacity is higher than the accessible capacity.
