After hitting highway speeds, take your foot entirely off the accelerator—and there’s absolutely no regenerative braking. That’s what VW product people call sailing.

With the slightest depression of the brake pedal, the regen braking comes back into action—feeding braking energy into the liquid-cooled lithium ion battery pack.
