When you are at the top of a hill after the climb the best way to descend is to
select no regen until you reach the speed limit and then use regen to keep your
vehicle at the speed limit. My Leaf has 6 regen selections. N for no regen, D
for some, Deco for more, B and Beco for the most. Using these settings I can in
a way coast and not use my mechanical brakes for long distances down hill. EVs
are never in neutral unless you have a conversion with a clutch. If the vehicle
moves the motor turns. That is why you can't flat tow an EV. So the most
efficient way down a hill is No regen until you are in fear of a speeding
ticket. Lawrence Rhodes
