CD miles incorrectly recorded as CS miles

[Roadburner440]

I wanted to see if anyone else has observed the kwh not going down. When I go down a hill, I usually see the kwh number go down by one tenth, but no more. I tried heading up the mountain about 10 miles in mm. I turned around and switched to normal mode. The ev range showed 14 miles remaining as I went down the hill, never going up or down. Once I got back to the flats, the kwh eventually started going up, and the range started going down. I am tempted to try again going further up the hill.

I can consistently get 0.2kwh back when stopping from 55-0mph providing I have ample stopping distance, and no one behind me. In normal everyday driving I can at least get 0.1kwh put back even from speeds as low as 40-45mph. Again it just takes a good roll out to do so. It does put power back in the battery, but unfortunately once you have crossed that threshold in to CS mode it will not revert back to EV mode once you have depleted the charge. Even if you go down a huge mountain I do not think it would go back to EV mode until it is plugged in again, and all will be logged as CS miles.

But it makes sense (at least to me) because what if the dealer the car with an empty petrol tank and you never plugged in the car. all miles would be recorded as miles derived from the ICE, and you had a similar situation as reported in the the post I copied from Xzion there is no way that the miles gained are miles derived from the ICE

I can answer on the mountain. You can Enter CS mode, and when you turn the car off and then back on, IF you have enough EV milage it will revert to CD mode. We have reasonable mountains here in CO. I've turn my off and after the break had 15miles of EV showing :-) Also if you play with MM recharging, it can be "in CS Mode" and then when you turn it off, there may be enough miles to get it back in CD mode. Happens each trip I take to the airport (which reduces my apparent CS mode mileage on voltstats.net but I can live with that).

My 75mile run (link in my signature) had the EER down to 10, then slowly climbed back upward. But also note the registering of power is slow (In fact, it gained miles while parked after a long downhill run. I recharged a bit hiking and the rest of the chemistry changes and maybe temp allowed the car a few extra miles. ).
