4) What is Regenerative breaking? When you brake in a hybrid car, some of the energy normally absorbed as heat is captured by the electric engine. It can then charge the battery every time the car slows down, thus becoming more efficient. This process is called "regenerative braking." In this, the electric motor acts as a generator
and charges the batteries while the car is slowing down. As an electric
vehicle slows down, the motor turns into a generator, adding electricity
to the battery. |
