In the particular case I cited, I was able to drive fairly optimally,
meaning the roads I was on were mostly open with few stops. Still, the
range appeared to be terrible. But for city driving, I don't really have
the option to coast to a stop - a light is amber for 5 seconds typically
and you have to use the brakes or end up running red lights. Regen is
pretty important.

I never use regen unless I want to slow down. I coast every chance I
get..regen is only good for braking. Coasting is free miles. Example.
If you charge at the top of a mountain. You can't regen until you burn
off some energy..but your trip starts where you stop coasting. If you
see a light on a highway try to regen and cost up the the stopped
cars..etc... Lawrence Rhodes
