296 GTB AF electric recuperation

Does the 296 recuperate on the front wheels as displayed in the User's manual ?

Mine seems to recuperate via the back wheels.

When I switch of the car, I have 0 kwh recuperated and 0 litre saved.

My experience - both e mode and hybrid mode seem to just drain the batteries. Only Performance mode seems to charge the batteries.

It charges in every mode, except that in Qualifying it de-charges more than it charges.

In my manuel page 179, the front wheels and the battery are green while charging. I got the rear wheels green as shown on my photo.

 

That’s what it says in the manual. In the real world, I found that Qualify charges the fastest, provided you drive with a bit of “spirit”.

 

No It does not have front motors, thus it cannot recuperate electricity from the front wheels. The SF90 Stradale though can.

 

There are no motor(s) on the rear wheels either. A single motor is sandwiched between engine and transmission. So, it is possible brake regenerative energy is recovered only from rear axle.

So why does the manual indicate the front wheels and the battery in green whilst charging ?
Did the take the picture of the SF90 in the 296 manual ?

 

I still do not know why I have 0 kwh and 0 litres of fuel saved.
Next week I will check with my dealer.

Nor does the radio work properly, only 3 radio stations received.

 

Welcome to the world of F car electronics/infotainment.....

Sounds possible.

 

For whatever reason I have found Performance will drain the battery until about 55% remaining and then hold it there. Qualifying will actually keep the battery fully charged. Performance uses more e-boost in the first ⅓ throttle travel- which makes it feel less mechanical to me. Qualifying will use it more at the top end of the throttle travel, it means you have to press on the throttle more. I would imagine if you were in a situation where you could really be on the throttle for extended periods it would drain the battery, but thats not usual street driving. Ive taken to just putting it in Qualifying and alternate between sport for cold tires and race for warm tires.

 

The manual quotes thats in Qualifying mode it will decharge mor than charge which sounds plausible as you need all the power for qualifying.

 

Having read the materials on the modes I was surprised as well, but thats my real world experience.

 

Ok, But then your's does not work as it should ...

 

I think this is like when Ferrari labelled the rear steer on the TDF as "virtual short wheel base" - when in fact, its more a case of virtual long wheel base.

In discussing with many other owners, this is how it functions.

 

Qualifying mode will recharge the battery. Even on track. Spend they day with ferrari on track and they said that as well. QF for the fastest charge

 

I bet if you can stand on the throttle for extended periods it would drain the battery, but, even on track, the car is so powerful, and also heavy enough, I doubt you could stand on it for that long. Ive taken to driving in either e mode or qualify and then to go between sport (cold tires) and race (warm tires) They give us choices for a reason- so we can suit our own taste/ style.

 

Realzeus is correct. No regeneration on front wheels as there is no motor there to recover the kinetic energy.

 

Bom dia, coloquei ela pra carregar na tomada de casa e zerou a bateria dela, já aconteceu com alguém ?

 

No issues with home charging for the past one year I have owned GTB.

 

After a year of ownership, this is exactly how I have found myself driving the car.

However, I do not understand how recharging is so much better in qualifying mode. I note that the charging image in "vehicle status" on the dash sometimes (aways?) differs as between performance and qualifying modes, but I am not sure what the difference signifies in technical terms.

I would be grateful if somebody could explain. (One way or another, I assume that I am charging the battery using petrol/gas.)

 

Do you leave the charger always plugged into the wall? Or do you unplug both ends when you leave?

 

I have a SF90 AF and I always unplug both ends.

Also, please remember to plug the wall in first and then the car.

 

Anyone able to educate me? Thanks in advance
