Mr.SekA Posted August 31, 2023 Posted August 31, 2023 Electric motors in hybrids and EVs have brought regen braking to mainstream cars. So, what on earth is it? Regenerative braking. This clumsy phrase has slowly crept into car-person lexicon as electric and hybrid vehicles have become more of A Thing. So if you’ve been reading TopGear.com’s reviews and group tests for years - and of course, that is the kind of behaviour we absolutely condone - you’ll already be well aware of what regen braking is and how it works. But if you’re encountering regenerative braking for the first time, or if the tech has never been properly explained to you, this article is for you. Actually, even if you think you know how it all works, read it anyway. There are a lot of dodgy explanations out there and there’s every chance you’ve been handed the wrong end of the stick.
