2019 Honda Accord Hybrid: Using the Regen Paddles
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 авг 2024
- Sharing my driving experiences with the 2019 Honda Accord Hybrid Regen paddles.
Note that the both the negative and positive paddles on the steering wheel are used differently from the gas only vehicles compared to the Hybrid vehicles. These methods may also work on the Honda Insight and Clarity.
Although using the brake regen is the best in capturing the energy for the hybrid battery, the regen paddle does add value. IMO, it may add about 2-3 MPG. The negative that in the "-" paddle is the one to use for the regen. The positive as in the "+" paddle undo the regen by 1 increment every time it's clicked on.

Thank goodness. Now I know the purpose! I was wondering how to use them, and the folks at the dealership didn't know.
Do you like your accord hybrid and how is it with gas mileage?
@@1030ent worth every penny. the amount of $$ you save on gas is amazing. i believe at most its 48mpg
So how do you use it to maximize ur mpg and second question besides the paddles how can I get maximum mpg and last question how can I stay in ev mode longer
ruclips.net/video/TRhbNBYfDUw/видео.html (your mileage varies by temperature also). I did a few videos on the results based on temperature.
By using regen braking, does this reduce the gas needed to charge the battery?
Yes, gives it more ev battery range
Does one click on the left shifter equal two arrow notches on the display?
Yes, one click will show 2 down arrows. 2 clicks will show 4 total down arrows. 3 clicks will show 6 down arrows.
No. The "default" level is one chevron (arrow notch), but in the default mode it isn't shown in the display. Click it once, and you increase from one to two and it gets shown. Click it again, and you get three. Click the right paddle twice, and it decreases to one and shows it.
If you push left paddle one time with brake and accelerator just "floating", (going downhill) or coasting to a stop, does left paddle go off when you start to accelerate?? Thanks
For the hybrid, the paddle goes off once you start accelerate. Sometimes, it feels like play a video game if you think about it.
@@netman88 unless you are in sport mode in which the regen stays put at the level you chose.
Do you keep a spare tire in your trunk? I was told not to due to battery being near but the thought of not having one scares me.
Yes, I have it here. ruclips.net/video/OYzi1_mLjOk/видео.html
Great "how to video" video explaining the purpose and use/operation of these regen paddles. So, the left paddle serves as a "brake" which also helps charge the battery and improve gas mileage?
Yes, that's correct.
Essentially, yes, but don't try to use it to brake quickly. Its a very slow, gradual slowing of speed.
Can you keep the paddles on 3rd Regen all the time. So everytime you brake it regenerates battery
Not sure all the time.
My understanding is that when you use the brake the regenerative braking is always the same. But the regen paddles change the amount of regenerative charging while gliding (accelerator and brake pedals are not being used). It is similar to downshifting a manual transmission. Going to a lower gear with a manual revs the engine more causing more deceleration. The higher level regen used, the more electricity is being sent to charge the battery. The regen level automatically goes back to the default when you accelerate or actively brake. The exception is with Sports mode, it retains the regen (or "gear") level for a sportier feel. Every time you brake, it does regenerate the battery regardless of how you use the paddles.
Thank you for the info. I wanna see if I can pass 43.1mpg on sport hybrid 2022
Exactly what I am getting
What Tint color do you have for the front and back? I just bought a ‘18 hybrid and am looking to get tints done soon.
Light gray. llumar ctx were on mines but wish I went higher end with better heat rejection. llumar irx will be better with better heat rejection.
@@netman88 what percentage ?
@@lucassmith2249 one was 35 and the other was 50
Is it just like doing an engine break style???
It’s like use the paddles to slowly brake the vehicle
Is there a way to use them to manually shift gears?
Nope, not on the hybrids
There are not gears to shift. It’s hybrid.
Will it wear off the break pads faster? Or does it use the emotor-brake (similar to an engine break)?
It shouldn’t. It would use that to generate the battery.
Regen isn’t in the brakes. It’s more like engine braking an electric motor to regen.
Are the paddles used in sport mode to manually shift?
Nope. On the hybrid, it’s used for brake regeneration. The energy captured goes back to the hybrid battery.
netman88 that’s what I thought thanks for clarification. The guy at the dealership that sold my brother the car said they are used for sport mode 😑
Can regen braking be set up automatically in normal or econ mode?
Nope
Thank you very much
What is the purpose of these paddles
To get better mileage.
to transfer the kinetic energy back into energy to charge your battery and save your conventional brakes!
It isn't to turn regen braking on. The car will always use regen when you press the brake pedal. The paddles are for when you don;t press either pedal.
In a conventional car, if you take your foot off of the gas pedal but leave the car in gear, the momentum of the car will spin the engine and the car will slow down. Downshift, and you get more slowing. But all the energy is wasted.
The paddles simulate this effect with regen braking, so you regain the energy instead of wasting it. It is always "on", but at the equivalent of a high gear. The paddles simply simulate downshifting.
My 2018 accord hybrid is the same color haha.
Nice 👍
So regen can’t just stick on all the time like a Tesla with one pedal driving would??? Just got my 2023 accord not a huge deal that this doesn’t work like I thought. Still a lot better than my KIA Optima hybrid and not knowing where my max regen braking is and where my real brakes begin. This feature alone probably saves so many people brakes.
Not one pedal driving. Most hybrids saves the brakes including Honda and Toyota.
@@netman88 found out that in the clarity regen videos they say sport mode keeps the setting on till changed by you. Wonder if it operates like that for the accords since the design is similar. Going to try this in a bit.
I wish the setting allowed you to keep regen always on. However, I just view the (-) paddle as downshifting and it works great.
@@tranceporter7426 just hold the left paddle down in any mode till an M comes on where the strength arrows are then it stays on till you either go to park or go into cruise control
