Hi everyone,
I'm a new 2014 Spark EV owner as of last Saturday and have been loving every second of driving around the city in it and perusing this awesome forum!
I had a quick question if anyone happens to have the answer to it...
Since there are no actual gears on our car, does anyone know how driving in L works as opposed to D? I was reading tips to conserve energy and it says to drive in L during stop and go traffic which I did today but I noticed that there didn't seem to be much of a difference while I accelerated. I noticed that when I let go of the accelerator l, the car began to regen as if I was pressing lightly on the brakes. So I guess my question is, is there any difference while accelerating at all, and does driving in L use the brakes at all while slowing down?
Thanks for the help and I'm happy to be part of the EV and Spark EV fam now!
