As more and more people become eco-conscious and want to minimize the environmental footprint cars may have, many opt for EVs or hybrid cars. It truly helps make a difference while also allowing ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

As electric cars become more common, many drivers are naturally curious about how to manage their battery, especially if they're stuck with an EV that doesn't go very far on a single charge. In fact, ...

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 recaptures the energy spent slowing a vehicle down and, by virtue of a vehicle’s electric motor switching into a generating mode, helps charge the batteries. Here the process is ...
