What a fabulous wealth of information collectively assembled on this forum. I'm new to EV vehicles. I've read a lot here, learned a lot. One thing I don't totally understand is regen braking. Sure I get the high-level - regen device slows the vehicle while also charging the batteries (do have even that basic concept correct?). But many other things I've seen referenced (paddles, one-peddle operation rusting brakes) I don't fully understand. Don't get me wrong, this won't affect my purchase decision - I'm in. But for a newbie it would be good to know. So here goes:
- How does the vehicle know when to apply regen braking - what if I just want to coast (no brake, no acceleration)?
- How much does the regen braking slow the vehicle? Is that adjustable? If adjustable - through settings or something more dynamic (like paddles??)?
- How much re-charging actually happens?
- I've seen mention of "crawl mode" (in Tesla's I presume) - what the heck is that? Will Rivian have that?
- Is the regen braking system separate from the regular brake mechanism?
- Any maintenance over time of the regen system?
- What exactly is "one peddle" driving? Is this something Rivian will sort-of enable? How?
- How much do we know about how this will all work within the Rivian platform (R1T / R1S)?
Thanks in advance to all the knowledgeable and better-informed responders out there.
