Stop-and-go traffic is torture for most drivers. The only effect is of course not a boring driving experience, It also has a negative impact on fuel consumption..

However, when it comes to electric cars, things change a bit. Because electric cars turn this situation into an advantage It has a system.

Let’s explore the subject a little further.

The name of this system we are trying to explain is ‘Regenerative braking’. Regenerative braking is an energy recovery system used in electric or hybrid vehicles.

So how does it work?

As you know, in traditional braking systems, kinetic energy is converted into heat, which is lost during braking. However, electric motors in electric cars work both to produce power and to brake. The electric motor works like a generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy and sends this energy directly to the vehicle’s battery.

What is the advantage of this system for electric cars?

What do you think of when we say electric car? The first problem is range. It happens. Regenerative braking also plays a role at this point. The energy gained thanks to this system increases the range while the battery is charged.

Before we end our content: regenerative braking is not only used in electric cars, modern trains, electric bicycles and scooters Let us remind you that it is also used in other means of transport, such as:
