    I've noticed that my "B" Gear doesn't have that resistance it use to give me when the car was newer. Remember how the Japanese people gave us the tip that you could use it under 20mph to get maximum regen without spinning the engine? I've noticed now that moving to "B" under that 20mph threshold doesn't give me that motor resistance is used to give me. Now, I can barely tell the difference between "D"'s electric motor braking (I guess regeneration's a better workd) and "B"'s motor regeneration

    If the battery is cold it won't allow as much regen as in the summer. That may be why it feels different now, unless you take a long trip and get it really warmed up.
