Chapter
Fundamentals of Regenerative Breaking
Abstract
One of the most important features of EVs, HEVs, and fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) is their ability to recover significant amounts of braking energy. The electric motors in EVs, HEVs, and FCVs can be controlled to operate as generators to convert the kinetic or potential energy of vehicle mass into electric energy that can be stored in the energy storage and then reused.
