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 ...

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 ...

Two of the key selling points of hybrid and electric vehicles are that they’re both more energy-efficient and, over time, need less maintenance than regular internal combustion engine vehicles. Both ...

Regenerative braking has been a common thing for EVs ever since the Toyota Prius hit the market some two decades ago. It is a good way to save some of the kinetic energy that would otherwise go to ...

One pedal driving is available in many battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids, allowing drivers the option to brake to a complete stop without actually pressing on the brake pedal. The car's ...

Regenerative braking is a pretty cool technology, and it definitely works to help extend the range of an electric vehicle, but is it enough to charge an EV on its own? One intrepid YouTuber wanted to ...

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 ...

Regenerative braking is one of the neatest features on electric vehicles. By running the motor backwards (in essence), it becomes a generator that puts electricity back into the battery while ...

Q: I love your column – it is the first thing I turn to every week, much to my spouse’s consternation. You are able to explain mechanical things in a way I understand. I have a question about ...
