Isn't the 'max available regen' the same in L as it is with the Brake Pedal in D?

I believe it is.

Just a small clarification, the Spark does have blended brakes where the first portion of the brake range is regen and the end is mechanical. That said, " The Brake Pads only start working when the regen is maxed at 60kW. " is incorrect. The mechanical brakes will engage as soon as you press the bra...

I went with the Firestone Fuel Fighters and did not notice much range difference.

It seems they were speaking of differences between the EV 2014 2015 and 2016, not ICE versus EV models

Adding charge will definitely mess it up

In my experience it accounts for both just fine.
As I regen both the % AND the kWh go back

Used Corroseal with great success.

Given the wide range of miles, do you have the corresponding period for each.
This may help us weight miles versus time as impact on degradation.

The maths work out to 6.5 mi/kWh. That is quite conservative driving, Good for her! Just keep in mind as was mentioned before that she will be doing quite a lot of miles per year (38,000 from your commute numbers), and you will loose capacity overtime. I have been loosing 0.15 kWh per 1000miles or ...

The loss of capacity on our 2014 is a straight downward line that shows no sign of slowing down. Over the last two years, it has been declining 0.15 kWh per 1,000 miles going from 15.8 kWh at 52,000 miles, down to 13.7 kWh at 66,000 miles. If I assume a nominal usable capacity of 19 kWh that means t...
