I’m definitely interested in a PHEV in a few years, probably around when we have a child and want a nicer family vehicle. I wish there was as many options as there are in Europe.

You will have a ton of options in a few years. Likely one from at least every manufacturer.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Seems like the perfect opportunity to bring back a 3rd penalty as a regen brake.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Porsche blends the regen into the brake pedal. The first part of the pedal travel is regen, then if you get deep enough into it the hydraulic system starts working. The brake by wire regen part of the pedal is a bit herky-jerky and takes some practice to get smooth. I think it's one of the aspects they spent a lot of time on and is very difficult to get it right, but they wanted the driving experience to be as close to the old way as possible. Tesla DGAF about the old way and it's way easier and cheaper to do one pedal and just leave the brake as hydraulic only.

You can always put a deposit on something that exists today but for the 2025 model year.
This is very similar to how the volvo regen works with the hydraulic break however its smooth a butter. Its indistinguishable other than being able to see the regen take place on the dash gauge.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
They keep spying a Ranger PHEV, which would be awesome if it keeps the current towing capacity as well. But because my hopes are up, it'll probably never be sold here.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

No. Coasting is about decelerating at a slower rate, maintaining momentum, while not converting energy to motion or vice versa. Maintaining speed, such as highway, you're always hovering between power or regen unless you're on the perfect light downslope where you're coasting. That isn't an issue anyways, cruise control takes care of that. When I'm comparing efficiency of coasting vs regen, I'm talking about urban driving. Example, I'm rolling up to a red light from a block away. Throttle off, I should be able to coast for most efficiency, and when light goes green accelerate again. One pedal, you'd have to have the right throttle position to find coast, otherwise you're regen then accelerate for some energy conversion loss. Not sure if that makes sense.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Another use I like with coasting is if I pass someone, I let it coast down back to the speed I want to maintain. Definitely more energy losses if I regen/decel and back to cruise to maintain speed. The question is how much?
How hard is it to stay in this neutral zone with the pedal? How much variance is there and if its' wide, does it make throttle response feel spongey?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Our Sienna does this too, it's relatively invisible at speed but it's brutal at slow speeds coming to a stop. Not brake enough then panic stop here and there like a Chinese driver haha.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
And yea, I feel like the whole 1 pedal driving was created because it was cheaper to do, and now everyone is building systems to mimic it, with less efficiency.

With new EV rebate scheme in the US, sounds like a lot of EV (that isn't made in US/Canada/Mexico) allocation can come our way.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

My car is old enough that I can choose the regen level. When I put it on low regen, I definitely use more electrons. I think that is why Elon doesn't let 2021+ owners change their regen level. Better for fleet efficiency.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I also can change the throttle response. There is nothing spongy. Most people who I've let drive my car end up using the right pedal as an on/off switch as it is such a subtle difference.
What's more efficient? I have no idea. DGAF either. I've learned how hard my car decels on regen and can totally judge when to just got full throttle off. I liken it to driving the old C63. You had so much torque that letting off slowed the car down a decent rate. I missed that when I went to the E63 where a turbo motor has no compression and you just keep coasting down the road.
It's funny, coming to a stop is the complete opposite of a regular car where as you get closer to a complete stop, you let off the brake. In the Tesla, you push the throttle to come to a gentler stop.

2023 Outlander PHEV lands in Nov (prob BC and Quebec only)

Mitsubishi has sold a lot of PHEV, dispute the previous version being pretty dated. If this is any decent improvement it'll sell.
I think I've figured out why the Volvo experience is smooth compared the Cayenne. The Volvo uses a rear motor for the AWD system, where the Porsche puts the electric motor between the engine and the transmission. The advantage of the Porsche method is that it gets AWD all the time and can use the gears with the electric motor, but on decel as it comes down through the gears it causes the herky jerky braking at low speeds on the 3-2 shift as it's trying to slow the car with the MGU/transmission. There are pros and cons of both, but interesting that they've taken different approaches.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Volvo has a drive mode for AWD all the time but of course the gas motor needs to run to power the front. No AWD on pure electric however the bonus is that there is no drive train loss running the electric through the engine. Haven't driven the Porsche but i did drive the BMW and the pure electric experience is poor because of the notable lack of power from the electric motor.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

It’s probably software tbh. The sienna’s regen is decoupled from the engine on all 4 wheels and the transition to physical brakes is jerky, but just at low speeds. My e53 is like the Porsche, mgu coupled to the transmission and engine, downshifts, and the transition from mgu to physical brakes is seamless.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.
