Electric vehicles and steep windy roads, page-3

Yes. My Tesla gains charge coming down hills!!


Just like an ICE car, it will use more fuel going up hill than going down.

UNlike an ICE car, it actually makes more fuel on a long and/or steep downhill.

Going up the mountain, you may be concerned that you can't get back because you've used over half a "tank" of electricity.

However, going downhill you will initially see very little change in the range to go, then see it actually go UP again.
