I drove the BMW i3 yesterday. It has very strong regenerative braking. The
more you let up on the go pedal (what do we call the accelerator pedal for
an EV?), the stronger the regen is. If you don't tailgate the guy in front
of you, you don't need to brake, it will regen to a stop. And to 'coast',
according to the display on the dashboard, there is no usage of the battery
pack.
I really liked it if only for that one reason.
And it has Excellent acceleration... well, I also really liked the
acceleration...
