Regenerative Braking in Hybrid and Electric Vehicles In the past, brakes were just brakes — you pressed the pedal and your vehicle slowed down. But as more cars come equipped with electric ...

Regen braking is generally not as useful in highway driving because you don’t do as much braking. But that’s not universally true. Before Nikola filed for bankruptcy, it did a lot of testing on ...

He called regenerative braking one of the great things about electric vehicles. "Now different vehicles will do it different ways, and there's lots of arms and legs and algorithms to it.

The speed of new vehicle development over the past few years has been dizzying as EVs introduce novel charging, energy storage, and propulsion systems.

Bright spark: Regenerative braking is a major part of what makes hybrids, such as this Toyota Prius, so much more efficient in city stop-and-go driving. Brian Early for Toronto Star ...

The regenerative braking forces are only being absorbed by these two wheels. Unfortunately, the two tires doing all the work may wear prematurely if the driver doesn’t learn to moderate their ...

Regenerative braking doesn’t provide total energy recapture in any case. There are appreciable frictional and efficiency losses involved, but the end result is that a still sizable portion of the ...
