What does regenerative braking do?
An electric vehicle is driven using a
battery and an electric motor. While 1.It is driven using the electrical
It uses an electric motor when deceler-
ating and braking and transforms
kinetic energy to electrical energy in
order to charge the high voltage bat-
tery. (Torque is applied in the opposite
direction when decelerating to gener-
ate braking force and electric energy.)
general vehicles use an internal
combustion engine and gasoline as
fuel, electric vehicles use electrical
energy that is charged inside the
high voltage battery. As a result,
electric vehicles are eco-friendly in
that they do not require fuel and do
not emit exhaust gases.
energy that is charged inside the
high voltage battery. This method
prevents air pollution since fuel,
like gasoline, is not required,
negating the emission of exhaust
gases.
2.A high performance motor is used
in the vehicle as well. Compared to

engine vehicles, engine noise and
vibrations are much more minimal
when driving.
•
The vehicle is composed of a high
voltage battery that drives the
motor and air-conditioner, and an
auxiliary battery (12 V) that drives
the lamps, wipers, and audio sys-
tem.
3.When
decelerating
or
driving
downhill, regenerative braking is
utilized to charge the high voltage
battery.This minimizes energy loss
and increases the distance to
empty.
•
The auxiliary battery is automati-
cally charged when the vehicle is in
the ready ( ) mode or the high
voltage battery is being charged.
4.When

able. (Refer to “Charge Types for
Electric Vehicle” for details.)
