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 ...

While it may seem like electric and hybrid vehicles are a recent innovation of the 21 st century, these technologies have been around for over a century. The first electric car, while extremely rough ...

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 seems almost too good to be true. If electricity involves spinning magnets that somehow produce ...

Electric cars are known for regenerative braking, so it is easy to assume the friction brakes enjoy a quiet life. The real picture is more complicated. Many EVs place sudden, heavy loads on their pads ...

Isaac Atienza is a Filipino motoring journalist who joined TopSpeed.com in 2021. He also owns a Filpino motoring website called Go Flat Out PH and is also a contributor to a local newspaper called The ...

With the rise of electric vehicles, regenerative braking has become a whole lot more common, and many drivers of EVs assume that using maximum regenerative braking settings means they’re getting a ...

Tesla's regenerative braking system is a revolutionary technology that converts kinetic energy into electrical energy, enhancing the vehicle's efficiency and extending its range. This system, integral ...

However, not all innovations are equal, and nor do they follow a constant upward trend. Instead, their evolution takes the form of an S-shaped curve that reflects their typical lifecycle from early ...

Writer and occasional reluctant perpetrator of engine swaps, James O'Neil is a malaise era enthusiast and also fascinated by the many ways the auto industry has since recovered from those dark days.
