Claim 0:
1. A vehicle comprising:
an accelerator pedal;
an electric machine configured to propel the vehicle and to brake the vehicle via regenerative braking based on a position of the accelerator pedal;
at least one sensor configured to detect conditions external to the vehicle;
a receiver configured to received data from external sources;
an electronic horizon controller having route attribute data stored therein; and
a controller programmed to,
in response to releasing the accelerator pedal during a first driving scenario that corresponds to a first set of data, that includes the route attribute data, the data received from external sources, or the data from the at least one sensor that is indicative of the conditions external to the vehicle, increase a regenerative braking torque to a first value, and
in response to releasing the accelerator pedal during a second driving scenario that corresponds to a second set of data, that includes the route attribute data, the data received from external sources, or the data from the at least one sensor that is indicative of the conditions external to the vehicle, increase a regenerative braking torque to a second value that is less than the first value.
