PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- When you brake on a normal gas-powered vehicle and the brake pads or shoes put pressure on the rotors, the act creates thermal energy, or simply put, heat. It's basically wasted ...

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 ...

Regenerative braking is a key feature in hybrid and electric vehicles (EVs) that enhances efficiency by converting kinetic energy into electrical energy, which is then stored in the vehicle’s battery.

While one could easily confuse the 2026 Tesla Model Y as simply being a cosmetic facelift, the changes made to the world’s best-selling EV are much more than skin deep. Not only has Tesla overhauled ...

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.

Efficiency, friend. Unlike normal brake discs, which simply convert kinetic energy into heat that’s lost forever, regen braking allows electricity to be harvested from the motor and then recycled back ...

If you’re interested in buying an electric or hybrid car, you might have heard about regenerative braking or brake energy regeneration. But what does the term mean, and what’s it like to drive a car ...

When my dad taught me and my siblings to drive back in the day, it wasn’t in our ’72 Impala family sedan with an automatic transmission but in his barebones ’69 Beetle commuter car with a four-speed ...
