Mr. Larg Hendriksen, an electric vehicle technology expert at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), said that regenerative brakes not only help reduce battery consumption but are also a smart driver support tool. However, drivers need to clearly understand its limits to avoid over-reliance and always stay proactive when driving the vehicle.
What is reborn phasing?
Unlike the traditional mechanical braking system, regenerative brakes operate based on the principle of converting dynamics into electricity. When the driver slows down or releases the accelerator, the electric motor will switch to "general" mode, reclaims energy and returns the battery instead of emitting heat as in the usual brake.
Outstanding advantages
Energy saving: Helping electric vehicles take advantage of energy that is wasted when slowing down.
Reduces brake abrasion: Reduces dependence on brake pads and brake discs, thereby reducing maintenance costs.
Increase driving performance: Step smoother in urban traffic conditions or when going down a pass.
How to use it safely
Getting used to the feeling of braking: Reborn braking can create a "feel" feeling when release the accelerator, especially for those who have just switched from gasoline vehicles. You should practice in the desert to get used to the response.
Adjust the appropriate braking mode: Many electric vehicle models allow adjustment of regeneration level. Strong regimes suitable for moving in the city, light regimes suitable for school roads to avoid losing control.
Not completely dependent: In some situations such as slippery roads or when trucks are heavy, regenerated brakes may not be strong enough to hold. Always be ready to use traditional mechanical brakes when needed.
Be careful when going down the pass: Recycling brakes can help slow down effectively but should not completely replace the use of leg brakes, especially when heavy vehicles or long slopes.
Reborn speed is an indispensable part of modern electric vehicles, but to make the most of the benefits while still ensuring safety, users need to clearly understand the operating principles and adjust driving habits accordingly. Consider this a support tool, not a complete replacement for proactive driving skills.
