Has anyone else noticed how EV’s behave / drive on the road ?
I first noticed it as a passenger in Uber’s, as they try to maintain a constant speed and the driver is on and off the throttle you, get a rocking sensation as the regeneration kicks in slowing them and then they have to apply the throttle again, whereas in petrol diesel the engine breaking is nowhere near as severe.
Then if you are following an EV in town they appear to “hesitate” or slow down for no reason, again I am guessing this is the driver just lifting off and regeneration kicking in.
On long down hill stretches I see brake lights coming on when they are not slowing down, but have simply lifted off, to coast down the hill.
