How do I enhance regenerative braking in a hybrid car?

How do I use the engine braking when descending a steep hill in my Honda Jazz Hybrid?

Assuming you have a 2020-on Honda Jazz hybrid there should be a 'B' mode accessed by pulling the gear selector towards you. This enhances regenerative braking to effectively give you 'engine braking'.

If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.

Is an electric car right for me?

Are there any sound generators to mimic engine sounds on hybrids? I thought they were due to become compulsory this summer and I am frightened by how many pedestrians step out in front of me!
We are thinking of buying a hybrid car for up to £20,000. Which would you go for and why?
