This weekend I saw that if i set the cruise control to 90kmh, and i push the throttle to 130 or 140kmh, the car will then use maximum regen to come back to the previous set speed, without touching the brake...

Why Lexus didn't let choice for the dirver about level of regen ? Like Tesla does...

From what i experienced, using the paddle increase the ICE breaking like a conventential car, but not the electic regen

I have noticed a similar thing with my GS450H, but I have found this happens if i have set the cruise speed at say 30 mph. If I then accelerate to a higher speed and then remove my foot from the accelerator pedal the car will coast for a short distance then decelerate strongly with lots of regen.

Oh this is maybe the reason !! That's why i noticed that only on highway !!! I love the big regen, so i will try to set the cruise control to the minimum to see if it does something...

this is the pedal box that i've used its brilliant , lag is reduced making the car more drivable

Ok thanks ! It is plugged to the OBD ?

The only time that I have felt strong regen is when dropping down a gear or two using the paddle for example when descending a hill. Could your effect be due to the traction battery running low  and requiring charging?

I don't touch the paddle in this case... I don't know why the car does that sometimes, its a mystery. It can happen when the Battery is low, or charged...

Hi,

I have my IS300H for 2 years now. I drove more than 25K miles and love it but :

Could you please make any suggestion for the followings things : (sorry for my english, I'm french)

1/

Sometimes, once a week or less, I have a strong regen even if i don't press the brake pedal. It happend at every speed !

I mean, the blue level indicates it regen at the maximum when for exemple I take of my foot to the throttle pedal at 90kmh, and I can clearly feel it brakes strong ! Like a Tesla..!

And later somehow, it disappears and the car has normal behavior again with  strong regen only with foot pedal... 

2/

Again, sometimes, I have a big lag in acceleration, just like if it was only the ICE is moving the car... It is very frustating, it is like I have no power from the battery/electric engine. And the SOC doesn't move as usual even if the arrow shows it works normally... 

3/ EV MODE !

I love use EV mode when i leave my home in the morning. But it works only in the morning ! Several times I want to go to EV mode, and it says it is impossible ! 

Any suggestion ?

Thank you !!
