The Leaf owner's manual says that the car should be hoisted to a flatbed or towed on it's
rear wheels only.
But every time you take your foot of the throttle, isn't it the same as towing, ie the car
is in re-generative mode. From my Carwings data it looks like 15 to 25% of the energy
comes from regeneration (traffic stop/go dependent I assume).
So what's the dif. Why couldn't we do a modest amount of towing to recharge ?
I would guess overheating could be an issue but if we knew a bit more about how to
do it "right" maybe we could work around that.
