What is happening - XC90 2021 Recharge
I am a bit confused because I have gotten some conflicting information about what actually happens.
First example - Charge the car completely and it is only using battery for a 20 mile round trip. As I go down a grade while only using battery, I place shifter in B. Car slows down. What caused it to slow? Electric motors become generators? Friction braking? Engine compression even though not running?
Second Example - Battery has discharged and I am driving on a two lane road at 55 mpg using the engine. As I go down a long grade, I place the shifter in B. Car slows down. In this example is this the engine providing the braking force?
If there is an explanation anywhere on the net, please let me know. I can only find general info about how Volvo's hybrid system charges the battery.
