I have noticed the regen paddle not working mostly on a steep down hill gradient early in my drive, I bet there isn't enough battery buffer available so early after a full charge. That, combined with the clutch disconnect, probably explains all of what I am seeing.
The garage is unheated, but except for summer thunderstorms, I leave the Volt always plugged in. Usually I do precondition, but sometimes I forget to. Not sure if that correlates to the regen paddle not working early in the drive. I will try to remember to check.
Sounds like all is well, no technical issues, just a matter of opening up a large enough buffer beyond what is there at full charge, to accept the regen energy, especially with a steep down hill grade at the beginning of the drive. Thanks!
