I have some experience with regen deceleration in my Accord hybrid. I think the to get the greatest benefit Rivian will need at least 3 modes or regen ranges. One which truly coasts without regen to maximize efficiency, one with moderate regen to give middle ground between coasting, putting back energy and saving mechanical brakes, and one with high regen to reduce brake wear and reclaim energy when coasting is unwanted. I have found frequent driving situations where any one of the three is the best choice so hopefully Rivian will provide the means to do at least these three.
