Is this normal? I am using zero regen all the time apart from braking or long down hill when I use the left hand paddle. If I add the miles I have covered since the last charge (when the car said I had 316 miles available) to the miles available I am currently running at the rate of 331 miles to a f...

Many thanks Alan,
I was wondering, as I had SWMBO watch me drive down the road (after posting my question) and put full reen on as it was faiely steep and she said the brake lights were coing on. Your comment would account for why I saw no reflection in the follower's headlights on gentle regen.

Perhaps if they do come on during regen it is at a higher speed?
Could someone enlighten me please.
