    In the electric motor Jbeam file, add the following text and tweak the values:
    "minimumWantedRegenTorque": 20,
    "maximumWantedRegenTorque": 200,
    You can add this right below the:
    "maxRPM":16000,

    Do you know what the unit for the torque is?

    As a follow up question, does anyone know how to increase regen efficiency?

    I'm not seeing any difference in regen torque using that Jbeam parameter. Is there an example vehicle that uses that function successfully?

    My code:
    Code:
            "inertia":0.07,
            "friction":2
            "maxRPM":16000,
            "minimumWantedRegenTorque": 20,
            "maximumWantedRegenTorque": 200,
            "dynamicFriction":0.01,
            "electricalEfficiency":0.97
            "thermalsEnabled":false
            "energyStorage": "mainBattery",

    200 nm of torque is too little imo. I changed my max to an absurd amount (70000) and it makes quite a difference. Also, I think the high the motor torque, the higher the motor regen.

    You need to ADJUST the 20 and 200 value.
