Q
Test drove a Bolt EV at the same day as the CT6 PHEV.
The regen in L mode was intense on the Bolt, but the paddle had no effect. Is this normal?

There was an article that discussed this question

It said, in part....


In addition to the Low drive setting, the Bolt has a Regen on Demand paddle on the steering wheel. So there are actually four different levels of regen with the level of deceleration getting stronger at each level below:

Drive mode (mildest regen <.2g’s)
Drive mode using Regen on Demand paddle
Low mode
Low mode plus using Regen on Demand paddle (strongest regen ~.3g’s)

Are they actually available yet? I saw the announcement, but when I called Maven they couldn't say whether or not...
