Trains in the US have the technical capability too as they're diesel-electric powered (diesel engine turns to power an electric motor), but they are unable to do this as they are not connected to the grid or have batteries enough to store that, so they just burn off this extra electricity through gigantic resistive heaters on the roof. It's crazy that they just throw away this easily exploitable electricity.

[@_dionisio]

The rear motor in Tesla, Volkswagen and Hyundai electric cars is not the induction motor you have represented in the video. They all use a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) but the video is still valid because the principle of regeneration is the same. The only difference is that rotor and the stator magnetic field rotate at the same speed: the machine is synchronous. Thanks for the good video.

[@CFG39]

LR AWD Model S and X used to use a PMSM on front axle and induction on rear, whereas the 3/Y use induction front and PMSM rear. Since the refresh launched, they’ve used 2-3 PMSM motors. This is a little bit of a dent in efficiency because the PMSM generates a force each time it spins around even when no power is being fed to it. This is why Hyundai/Kia/Genesis, Mercedes, Porsche, Audi, etc. all fit a mechanical decoupler to one of their PMSM motors so it doesn’t spin and create drag when not needed for power. It’s honestly a little surprising Tesla didn’t keep an induction motor on the LR AWD S/X or invest in a clutch to decouple one or two of the motors from the drivetrain like the Germans and Koreans have done, but they didn’t. Hyundai claimed the addition of the clutch system improved cruising efficiency 9% on average on their AWD models. In my experience it’s closer to 20% at highway speed.

[@AalapShah12297]

2:55 I am not sure about Tesla EVs in particular but in general, the power produced from regenerative braking by the inverter is in DC format only. Inverters normally change DC to AC so when operated on reverse, they change the AC power from the motor into DC. So there is no need for an additional rectifier. But this DC power needs to be brought to a the right voltage for charging the battery, which is where the DC to DC converter comes in. Another interesting thing is that usually this part requires very little additional hardware, as the on-board charger used in most EVs also consists of a DC to DC converter - and that same one is used for charging the battery during regenerative braking, as the on board charger is not in use during driving.

[@casey360360]

Not even close. The FET/diode circuit in the inverter works as a rectifier during regen, the inverter has a PWM circuit to act as a buck-boost converter. Regen is contained 100% in the inverter, regen force is also controlled by the inverter. The DC-DC converter only steps down voltage to the accessory battery. Level 1/2 charger is done by AC rectified and stepped up to battery voltage by again, the inverter. level 3 charging is native DC from the charger.

[@AalapShah12297]

​@@casey360360As for the first part of your comment - that is exactly what I said. The inverter rectifies the regen power and there is no need for an additional power converter for that. Regarding the need for a DCDC converter - firstly I am talking about an HV to HV DCDC converter, not the HV to LV converter for the auxiliary battery. Secondly, the video already mentions that the architecture they are describing uses a DCDC converter to bring the voltage to the HV battery voltage. This is a very common characteristic of many EV architectures in the industry today, as they want to support 400V DC charging which is more widely available than 800V DC charging, but they still want to have an 800V inverter, heater, a/c, etc to improve overall efficiency. Of course, there are EV architectures where the inverter regen voltage is directly at the battery's voltage level so there is no need for an HV to HV DCDC converter, but that is not the kind of architecture they are describing in the video. Regarding level 1/2 charging through the inverter - yes that is one of the features of a few modern EV architectures but most on-road EVs today have a separate On-board-charger and inverter. Watch any teardown video and you will see.

[@gabedarrett1301]

4:00 I heard somewhere that it's between 20-60%, not 10%. Is there a way to actively control regenerative braking torque? The problem with modern regenerative braking is that you have to try and estimate when to remove your foot from the accelerator pedal in order to minimize wasted energy. If you estimate the timing incorrectly, you'll need to use friction brakes at the end, which wastes energy.

[@dno8025]

Probably way less than 10%. Stopping from 60 MPH typically takes around 5 seconds. Let's be generous and say it takes 10 seconds. How much charge can be put into an electric car battery in 10 seconds? Not much. Even if the car is stopped 20 times from 60 MPH, that's still less than 200 seconds of charging time which won't increase range much at all.

It's not just EVs, modern gas cars have special brake light logic as well. For example, when you are in hill hold/auto vehicle hold, or in collision avoidance emergency braking, the brake lights will turn on even though the pedal isn't applied. This caused an issue with the new Ford Ranger because they forgot about this when designing their trailer brake controller, so there's a stupid harness running from the front through the roof to the CHMSL to get a braking signal.

If it worked like EVs, you'd lose speed going down hills if you used this technology but you'd be able to use it to go up hill at least. I think some E-bikes have similar tech to what you are asking. I personally wouldn't trade my fun bombing down hill at 50mph on a bike or coasting for miles for some uphill convenience but I'm sure many would. Guess it'd have to be a toggle for on/off when you wanted it, ideally. Also, regular bikes have this too already, to charge headlights and cell phones, look up "dynamo hubs" for bikes.

During cruise mode, you only need energy to overcome the frictional drag offered by air and friction due to tire rolling on ground. This energy is very less than accelerating a vehicle. Further modern cars are very aerodynamic, hence they have low drag resistance.

At what point is the system smart enough to know you are coasting to slow down/stop versus coasting to maintain speed? Ex: let off the gas because I see a stop sign up a head, great way to regain energy since I will be stopping regardless. But what if I just want to “coast” down a slight hill. I’m not gonna add gas, let gravity do the work, but it seems like in this system I’ll be pulling energy and therefor slowing down compared to a standard car. Then (as physics works/commute type scenario), I will need to at some point regain that height (energy) and there is always an efficiency loss somewhere. I’m asking now or in the future will we be able to optimize for true coasting conditions versus “taking your foot off the gas” conditions

[@BobbieGWhiz]

You simply ease off the accelerator pedal, not take your foot off completely, and then it does what you would call coasting. It feels very simple and natural.

It's not all-or-nothing. You can ease off the accelerator in one-pedal steering, or in some vehicles use paddles by the steering wheel to "downshift" or "upshift" for different levels of regeneration and braking power.

Except that due to inefficiencies and friction and air resistance and a whole lot of other factors in well, all parts of the system, only a small portion of the energy used in going up a hill is returned to the battery. A very small portion indeed.

[@scooterD3]

All the new Teslas 2020 and newer stop on their own very quickly. I owned a Chevy bolt that stopped on its own, no braking. My 2021 model y stops on its own, no breaking. There is a toggle in the car specifically for to be able to using breaking when regenerative breaking is not available, but it’s very clear the purpose of this is to function as normal when it is fully charged. For folks who have never experienced regenerative breaking, if your car is charged to 100%, the car will not activate regenerative braking. So, it will coast as it normally would, as if it is in neutral or how a gas powered car would coast. Most electric cars nowadays will stop completely using only regenerative breaking. This video is extremely outdated.

[@moarsaur]

It could in some situations, but would recoup less power by doing so. Your regenerative braking system cannot optimize energy capture if it needs to prioritize stopping the car.

Yes, but I still don't understand, that how this supply the motor and regenerate power from the motor simultaneously?

I read somewhere that it's 20-60%

[@bass-tones]

I don’t know if that number is accurate but keep in mind he’s talking about efficiency for driving overall. Regen can only recover energy when you’re slowing down. So if you’re just cruising on a highway for example, it’s not doing anything. In terms of merely regen itself, ignoring total car efficiency, regen is about 85% efficient (in terms of converting your kinetic energy to electric). So the process is very efficient. It’s just that the majority of driving does not involve stopping, so the overall efficiency boost isn’t huge.

[@moarsaur]

Increasing your range by 10% by recouping energy lost to unnecessary acceleration or banking energy on downhill runs is huge. If you over-accelerate and over-brake, and never change those habits despite the car telling you it's killing your range, then technically regenerative braking might be extending your range more than 10%, but your total range will still be less than if you were driving sensibly.

3:55 "Regenerative braking can increase the range of your electric car by 10%" A lot of complication for only 10% increase in range??? Now I'm not so sure it is worth it ...

[@gabedarrett1301]

I heard it's 20-60%, not 10%. Also, it's not overly complicated; electronics are cheap and reliable. Sure the design might be complex, but there are smart engineers who work on that

[@mqb3gofjzkko7nzx38]

Including the electronics to enable regen braking is way cheaper than including a 10% bigger battery.

[@andrewkamoha4666]

@@mqb3gofjzkko7nzx38 Ok, this is important. Mind to post the source?

[@jpizel1070]

The first time I drove a Tesla, I thought the regen braking felt so weird. Now I can't drive without it and don't think I can go back to a car without this feature.

[@markmalasics3413]

I noticed that in the animation that showed the Tesla interior there was no fire extinguisher mounted within view. In this normal?

[@adamesd3699]

One issue with regenerative braking is that the car slows down, but usually the rear brake lights don’t come on. So the driver behind you might not realize you’re slowing down.

[@Tom-dt4ic]

My rear brake lights come on in my Model Y when I use regenerative braking.

[@dvs21a]

Mine come on.

[@sorinpirtea2306]

If the driver behind you pays attention to the phone instead of watching the road and the car in front on him/her, then if your brake lights are on or off doesn’t matter at all.

[@cammos]

Why cant we just use the power of the wheels turning while u drive meani g the need for just initial charge surely thats possible y use brakes only reason i can think of is big oil companies??

[@bozzalnw5357]

this is why EV is better than internal combustion engine.

[@DemPilafian]

Maybe some people have nothing to do so they enjoy going to the auto repair shop to get new brake pads installed. And don't forget oil changes, replacing the timing belt, transmission repairs, and smog checks!

The drive unit coolant seal has a faulty design resulting in the rotor bearing gets flushed by coolant, resulting in a total driveunit failure, i have had my driveunit replaced 4 times, now it is starting to break down again, Tesla has not fixed this issue.

[@rouchar]

For every kilowatt that regen saved, an anti-EV boomer gets a heart attack.

What's wrong with lesics, Why are they re-uploading?

[@luongmaihunggia]

Great video. But I have to wonder if you still having financial problems with the channel that you spoken of earlier.

[@cartestgroupoy2441]

So there is still so much space before it's green energy and could power households but then again it would not benefit so much electric companies but it would save battery materials

[@dmitrysysoletin9967]

I have a Nissan from 1994 with manual transmission and diesel with mechanical pump (no electronics in the engine/gearbox). And I also have one-pedal driving in it, I apply brakes only for complete stop. So nothing special in braking when you release the gas pedal.

[@ahmadalhwejh9026]

But wait, induction motors don't generate electricity when turned. The process is much more complicated

[@johncampbell-zj2yj]

This has been around for 75 years on locomotives. It's call dynamic braking.

[@GaryV-p3h]

*Less than not lesser than, there's no such word as lesser in the English language.

[@martinc.720]

You still understand what they meant, right? Also, lesser is definitely a word. Just stop.

[@mqb3gofjzkko7nzx38]

"there's no such word as lesser in the English language." False. lesser adjective [ before noun ] /ˈles.ər/ used to describe something that is not as great in size, amount, or importance as something else: -A lesser man (= a man who was not as strong or brave) might have given up at that point. -The charge of murder was altered to the lesser (= less serious) charge of manslaughter. -Ethiopia and, to a lesser extent/degree, Kenya will be badly affected by the drought.

[@adfggffffffddffd]

Just so people know, neither Elon nor Tesla motors company engineers for that matter came up with the concept of regenerative braking. It has been around for decades and a number of other companies were utilizing it before Tesla Motors was even a company.

[@PyroShields]

What companies?

[@adfggffffffddffd]

@@PyroShields Car companies... You know, like Toyota, Chevy, Hyundai.

[@PyroShields]

@@adfggffffffddffd A quick research tells me it was invented here in America (AMC). Toyota Prius was the first EV (hybrid) to utilize it.
