HV battery range seems very low after AC charging

Here's a screenshot from CarScanner. It's a typical stop from 70 km/h to zero in two pedal drive where the brake coach says 100% energy returned.
Interesting plot, was that in "normal" drive?
Also, is it reporting 1.02 kW returned to the battery for that slow down from 70 . That begs the question how much energy was used to speed up at that same rate to 70?

Another post from mountain climbing in Washington State looked like about 60% of the energy was recovered coming down the mountain, but there are too many variable to draw a definite conclusion.

Yes, "Normal" mode. I've never even tried Sport 😅 and have only used off road a few times in sticky spots. The 1.02 kW is the "current" value; after stopping, the heater, accessories etc. are drawing 1 kW from the battery. You can see the regen from 45-65 kW earlier in the graph.

I went up the McBride Peak road here recently, slow speed, off road mode for half of it. 1100 m elevation gain (~3600 ft in freedom units). Used 11% going up, gained 5% back coming down. So less than 60% from those rough numbers. But it's pretty significant. Again, 2PD all the time.
