How Regenerative Braking Boosts Your EV's Range

How Regenerative Braking Boosts Your EV's Range

Electric vehicles (EVs) have revolutionized the automotive industry with their eco-friendly operation and impressive performance. One key technology contributing to their efficiency is regenerative braking. But how exactly does regenerative braking work, and how does it enhance an EV's range? What is Regenerative Braking Regenerative braking is a clever system that converts kinetic energy into usable electric energy during deceleration or braking. Unlike traditional braking systems, which dissipate energy as heat through friction, regenerative braking captures this energy and stores it in the vehicle's battery for later use. This innovative approach not only improves energy efficiency but also extends the driving range of EVs. The Science Behind Regenerative Braking When you apply the brakes in an EV equipped with regenerative braking tech ... read more
