The secret is out: electric propulsion is a win. Whether we’re talking about a gas-electric hybrid, or a full-on battery-electric vehicle with no internal combustion engine, electric motors make ...

Every time a Formula 1 driver hits the brakes, the car is doing two things simultaneously: slowing down through friction, and ...

While the use of EV's electric motors to act as generators to recharge vehicle batteries during deceleration seems superficially obvious, engineer Jeremy Fielding goes into the details of how and why ...

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- When you brake on a normal gas-powered vehicle and the brake pads or shoes put pressure on the rotors, the act creates thermal energy, or simply put, heat. It's basically wasted ...

Regenerative braking is built into nearly every modern hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and fully electric vehicle—and even hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle. It's a key piece of the electrified propulsion technology ...

Regeneration is a wild concept. Young minds often explode when learning that some amazing starfish can grow new arms if one gets chomped off; the details of why and how come later. Similarly, many of ...

Electric vehicles offer a variety of unique technology and interesting features that pure ICE vehicles simply can’t, including one-pedal driving and regenerative braking. That includes Cadillac’s ...
