Regenerative Braking

wv dm 17.01.003

This vehicle is equipped with a regenerative braking system. Induction from the drive motor being turned into a generator from the kinetic energy created by the forward momentum of the vehicle, simultaneously decelerates the vehicle and recharges the batteries when the driver's foot is off of the accelerator pedal. When the brake pedal is depressed, regenerative braking is automatically blended with the mechanical braking.

The regeneration will feel as if the brake is being lightly applied when the driver removes their foot from the accelerator pedal. The full power of the service brake is always available to the driver, and regenerative braking is automatically shut off during an antilock brake system (ABS) event.
