Do Hybrids Hate Hot Weather?
More specifically, it hit 105F+ in Greater Boston, MA today. I noticed that my regenerative brakes didn't go nearly as "deep" into the blue regeneration zone as they usually do, and even coming down from 60MPH it only dipped halfway. Then the conventional brakes kicked in.
Never seen this before--the RB performed normally on the first two "serious" applications (high speed regen down to slow, ~20MPH), after that they seem to "fade."
