2. Regenerative braking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regenerative_braking

   Designed by Gulton Industries [19] the motor controller automatically began battery charging when the brake pedal was applied. Many modern hybrid and electric vehicles use this technique to extend the range of the battery pack, especially those using an AC drive train (most earlier designs used DC power).

   Yes. Because regenerative braking also relies on battery chemistry – in this case energy is pushed back into the battery by the motors as a car coasts or brakes – it will work less well when cold.

4. Automotive battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_battery

   A typical 12 V, 40 Ah lead-acid car battery. An automotive battery, or car battery, is a rechargeable battery that is used to start a motor vehicle.. Its main purpose is to provide an electric current to the electric-powered starting motor, which in turn starts the chemically-powered internal combustion engine that actually propels the vehicle.

5. Eddy current brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_current_brake

   Disk electromagnetic brakes are used on vehicles such as trains, and power tools such as circular saws, to stop the blade quickly when the power is turned off.A disk eddy current brake consists of a conductive non-ferromagnetic metal disc attached to the axle of the vehicle's wheel, with an electromagnet located with its poles on each side of the disk, so the magnetic field passes through the ...

6. Brake-by-wire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake-by-wire

   The system includes all of the complexity of a vehicle stability control system (VSC), antilock brake system (ABS), and the requirement to use the Regeneration Braking as the primary mode of slowing the vehicle unless the Traction Battery (high-voltage battery) state of charge is too high to accept the additional energy or a panic stop or ABS ...

7. Automobile accessory power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobile_accessory_power

   The most ubiquitous vacuum-powered accessory is the booster for the power brake system. The vacuum is only an assist and the brakes can still function, requiring greater force, if the booster vacuum is used up. Many older vehicles used vacuum-powered windshield wipers. Loss of manifold vacuum when the engine was working hard, or at wide open ...

   In the U.S., Tesla also has been subject to a raft of customer safety complaints and lawsuits over autopilot function, battery charging, alleged suspension defects, sudden braking or acceleration ...

9. Electric vehicle battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_vehicle_battery

   The internal resistance of some batteries may be significantly increased at low temperature [107] which can cause noticeable reduction in the range of the vehicle and on the lifetime of the battery. With an AC system or advanced DC system, regenerative braking can extend range by up to 50% under extreme traffic conditions without complete ...
