·Hi all,
I just picked up a 2018 Volt yesterday. So excited. And now I am learning how to use the regen braking by driving in L or using the hand paddle.
I noticed that the hand paddle is quite sensitive. I mean once I pull the paddle just a little bit, I can feel the car slows down quite fast. But the movement is not smooth unlike the foot brake pedal where you can slowly press it to a smooth stop, without feeling this "jerky" movement (like back and forth movement you feel when you suddenly step on and off the foot brake pedal with some pressure).
If I am driving in L, I can do a little better in a sense that I can slowly press the gas pedal or release it, so far less jerky movements, but still not as smooth as the brake pedal braking.
How do you guys drive smoothly using regen? Or is this "jerky" movement expected whenever you are doing regen braking?
