what is the meaning of coasting?

 

[ThatVietGuy]

Letting a car roll without throttle input.

 

[kerberos_20]

it technically means when you press clutch pedal or drive in neutral

 

[hotaru.hino]

With regards to hybrid cars, when you let go of the gas pedal (or accelerator), it uses part of the drivetrain (the thing that gets the engine power to the wheels) to turn a generator, which charges the battery

 

[USAFRet]

it technically means when you press clutch pedal or drive in neutral

Hybrids have no clutch or neutral.

This refers to just letting off the pedal, and letting the vehicle "coast'.
