Try it and see. It might work fine. A Prius owner in this thread had trouble, but that is hybrid drive. An i3 BMW here seems to be applying the throttle stop technique fine. Good luck.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
