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 ...

Regenerative braking improves EV efficiency, but reduced brake use can lead to rear brake corrosion and new service ...

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.

YouTube creator and self-taught engineer Jeremy Fielding built his regenerative braking rig from spare parts, then made a ...

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 ...

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 ...

The most common motor style for an electric bike is a hub motor (a motor in the center of the wheel), and we’ve all known for ...

Electric cars are similar to combustion-powered cars in some ways, but very different in others. One key difference is an electric car’s regenerative braking system, which uses the electric motor to ...

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 ...

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