I should really test this down Parleys which is a pretty steep grade part of I-80 in Utah. From my limited use so far I think it's great for this. I find it will decelerate on max regen going down moderate inclines but you just position the accelerator where it maintains the speed you want and it will still regen the difference. From a lay/anecdotal perspective at least.What I want to know is how the max regen would work on something like a steep grade, say 6%. Often in my grand Cherokee I put it in 3rd or 4th so I’m not riding my brakes or flying down i70 from the high country. The max regen would be nice if it provided a similar type of resistance, I’m just afraid it may provide more than desired and have an algorithm to ensure it provides enough resistance to be slowing the vehicle. IE is it smart enough to provide significantly varying levels of resistance (regen) depending on your speed and if so what are they targeting. More resistance at higher speeds still may actually slow you at a lesser rate given basic properties of physics. F=ma. which means on the surface It sounds as though it is a dynamic formula Jeep has used
