Regenerative braking uses a vehicle’s motor to slow it down, allowing the kinetic energy to be converted into electricity and stored in the battery. This contrasts conventional friction brakes, which convert kinetic energy to heat, which is … [Read more...]
What control strategies can be used for regenerative braking in EVs?
The control strategies for the regenerative brakes on most current EVs are rudimentary. That’s set to change as more sophisticated techniques are developed. There is much more to regenerative braking in electric vehicles (EVs) than simply ‘hitting … [Read more...]
