go from 179 to 225 coming off the Colorado Plateau on I-17

regenerative charging, or just adjustment to the lower power demand going dooooowwwnnnnhill?

My instantaneous mileage indicator in my car pegs at 99 mpg going down the Camp Verde hill, at about 80 mph!

From over in the EV thread from a while back:

@Pleonast

This past weekend I looked more carefully at the numbers. Going from San Bernardino to Big Bear is 30 miles across and 6000 ft up. Going there took 80 miles of charge. Coming back recharged the car 20 miles.

There’s definitely regenerative charging when dropping elevation over many miles.
