Re: [EVDL] Leaf recommendations?

[Lawrence Rhodes via EV]

Do not use cruise control at all times it will reduce your range.  It will 
however work well going up hills at a set speed.  The reason cruise control 
wastes energy is it always draws power or regens.  It never coasts so you lose 
that component you would have if you had your foot on the pedal.  With the foot 
on the pedal you can more efficiently back off rather than regening which 
wastes energy.  I know it's counter intuitive but if you put the power out and 
regen it's worse than just backing off.  Reclaimed energy is not as good as 
energy not used.  Does that make sense?  Lawrence Rhodes
