What Are the Limits of Adjusting Regenerative Braking on the Kia EV3

Model: Kia EV3 MK 1 - Years 2024-2026
Part: Onboard computer

This video explains the situations where it is not possible to adjust the level of regenerative braking using the paddles on the steering wheel of the Kia EV3: when both paddles are pulled simultaneously (as this command has another function); when the SCC (Smart Cruise Control) mode is activated; in this case, regeneration is managed by the system. When using regenerative braking with a fully charged battery: this is an important technical limit; if the battery is 100% full, it cannot accept any more energy from regenerative charging, so the system disables regeneration; when a trailer is connected. Indeed, towing a trailer changes the driving dynamics and requires different braking management for safety.
