What is Regenerative Braking?

One of the biggest differentiating factors between a traditional vehicle and an electric vehicle is regenerative braking which charges your battery as you slow your vehicle. How does it work? Expert Jérémie Bernardin explains.

Thanks for explaining i was wondering what it means

[@blue280485]

Simply explained thanks 👍 Does this work in hybrid too like Prius?

[@smileypaper5589]

Yes it does

[@yy-xt4kw]

Yes most hybrid/plug in hybrid/ electric cars have it. It can make your brakes last a really long time

[@Saltbox97]

Great video.

[@churchofclaus]

How exactly does it slow the car down tho?

[@Damonbird775]

Im totally making this up but maybe the battery reduces power to the tires? Am I close?

[@Damonbird775]

@@Lanwoqoqznwkwo It’s called teamwork 😬

The electric motor is an induction motor. It uses magnets to create a field that makes a rotating shaft create torque which powers the drive. When you remove your foot from the gas, you stop demanding power from the drive but the magnets are still creating rotation. There is a device attached to the motor that detects when power supplied is higher than power demanded, when this happens it inverts the signal, causing these magnets to reverse polarity. This causes the torque to work in reverse Instead of solely using friction to stop like a gas engine, an electric engine can essentially "reverse" itself and act as a generator. When it does this, it also reduces torque to the wheels by redirecting the kinetic energy back into the battery. Hope this helps

Why did you leave Tesla or the list anyone buying them other Evs need there heads checking

[@lordofsevenrealms]

Kinda like Engine braking

[@gonearethedays]

Yea.. my mum vomitted becs of this constant braking.. no to ev
