What Is Regenerative Braking in Hybrids & Electric Vehicles

What Is Regenerative Braking? Re-generative braking is a technology used in hybrid and electric vehicles to recover and store some of the kinetic energy. This captured electrical energy is stored in the vehicle's battery, effectively recharging it. This stored energy can later be used to power the electric motor. Regenerative braking systems work by converting the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into electrical energy. One thing to keep in mind is Regenerative braking does not eliminate the need for traditional friction brakes entirely. In certain situations, such as emergency stops or when the battery is fully charged, hybrid and electric vehicles still rely on conventional braking systems to bring the vehicle to a complete stop. It is important to keep your brakes in good working order.                                     What Are The Advantages & D ... read more
