68.6 soc on downhill
This isn't new as the experienced posters are aware you can obtain higher than normal soc on downhills. I got mine yesterday in Maryland during an extended drive into West Virginia for some nordic skiing.

Great pic. And I really like the 42.2 Amps contributing to drive power, greatly reducing gasoline consumption in an attempt to get the SoC back to 53%. I love it when that happens.

Re: 68.6 soc on downhill
I had a similar result, with fuel-cut at the same time on the downhill.
I would have loved to see how high I could go, but soon after this photo, I ran out of hill!
Fuel cut is indicated by the 0.0 horsepower reading, even though I was going 50-55 miles per hour. 12.0 amps of regen was still allowed, even though SOC was high. SGI was estimateing 83.3 MPG, which was wrong since no fuel at was was being used at the time. Water temp cooled to the 140's quickly. -John
