Does the Cyberster use regenerative braking when in Adaptive Cruise Control?

[CyberNewbie]

I read in another MG thread that other MG EVs do not use regenerative braking when in Adaptive Cruise Control, does this apply to the Cyberster?

No. My Cyberster regenerates while using adaptive cruise control when trying to maintain a set speed going downhill.

All MG4s utilise regenerative braking.

I am not really familiar with the MG range but this was posted for the MG ZS.

Cyberster and all the MG4 range are purpose built EVs.
AFAIK the old ZS EV cars are based on the ICE frames. I wouldn't be surprised if they have a number of limitations but you'll need a ZS expert to answer definitively.

The adaptive means the car decides how much regen to use from high to low

The topic of discussion is about regenerative braking while using the adaptive cruise control. Your example given is about adaptive regen mode that is engaged anytime the vehicle is in a forward motion regardless of whether the vehicle is in cruise control or not.

Whoops, senior moment, in regards to adaptive cruise the car uses regen but based on the current regen setting high through low or adaptive.

So if it is set to high and you are using adaptive cruise you will notice high regen when the adaptive cruise slows the car. You can see how much regen is being applied by the negative power figure on the display and if you have the energy screen open it shows you the change in energy flow from the wheels to the battery, rather than from the battery to the wheels
