Is battery regen the same with VESC setups as it is with OWs? Do you need to limit charging if you start your riding from a ‘top of a hill’ location?
For now, yeah you can’t magically burn energy instead of regen capturing into battery power.
Someday in the future we could roast the motors instead of the battery. Vedder says its possible to do active braking instead of regen braking.
Give it a few years.
