Regen / Brakes

[it guy]

Hi Everyone

Waiting for delivery of my MG4 and just wondering how the regen works in terms of brake blend.

Not talking one pedal driving, just normal 1-2-3-Auto type regen modes.

If I have the car set to regen level 1, for example, then lightly brake as well, does that give more regen as well as friction brakes or just add friction brakes?

A bit tricky to explain what I mean but in my current C40 Volvo if I brake (down a long hill for example) it will part regen and part brake at the same time.

Also, what's the opinion of the Auto regen setting? Have driven a Soul EV with this before and really liked it in that, is this any good on the MG4?

Cheers

I believe it does give you more regen first, and blends in friction brakes only as needed. But unfortunately, these sorts of interesting technical detail don't seem to be shared by most manufacturers, certainly including MG/SAIC.
