In the 1st-gen Insight, there's some computer logic that determines whether or not to regen when your foot is off the gas, and I think it mostly has to do with battery level. In city driving it likes to be at around half charge, and will cut off deceleration regen above that, but get up to highway speeds and it will take the meter to full. It's a slug to drive without assist so I'm rather glad that just it's able to stay topped off with only decel regen.
