5.3 Vehicle Drive Characteristics/Behaviors
This is an electric vehicle and because of this fact it has a few characteristics to
the drive system behavior that is different than a regular automobile. The following is a
list of some of the behaviors that a normal automobile user might not be familiar with in
an electric vehicle.
1.
When decelerating (zero throttle command) the vehicle will have a slight regen
which assists in slowing the vehicle down and at the same time helps to slightly
recharge the battery pack.
2.
When braking, the vehicle will electronically assist (regen) more than when just
decelerating. (AC drive models only)
3.
Initially drive the vehicle in a safe environment to help you fully understand how
it performs.
