As a new electric vehicle (EV) driver, I'm unsure how to use regenerative braking effectively. With high regenerative braking—or "one-pedal" driving—I rarely need the brake pedal, which seemingly maximizes battery recharge. However, the car decelerates quickly, reducing coasting distance. This requires more acceleration, potentially offsetting any energy gains.

Conversely, low regenerative braking captures less energy but allows for greater coasting distance, thus requiring less acceleration and potentially saving energy.

Which driving method is more efficient? Is there an optimal way to combine these techniques based on traffic conditions to minimize energy consumption? I'd appreciate any advice, thank you.
