Perhaps it's time to invest in starter motor manufactures: the new tech which is coming out in many cars may result in more frequent starter motor changes! |

This feature is great because it slows the car down without using the brakes and also recharges the battery slightly so you save on brake wear also. Plus I think the old story of Hybrid batteries being REALLY expensive is just a myth. I know the Prius batteries are actually quite small. |

^^^^i don't think there is such a thing as a hybrid that DOESNT have regenerative braking.....after all, braking heat = energy loss.

When the motor slows down its creates electricity flow through the magnets. They now capture this energy and put it back into the battery. I just finished 10 yrs on Electric forklifts and you very rarely actually use the brakes except for emergency stops. And now they're using A/C motors that have no carbon brushes or commutator so these new motors don't even require servicing! Last edited by GASWAGON; 14-01-2014 at 11:35 AM. |
