| "Electric cars use regenerative braking ... That’s why it is said you can drive an electric car on one pedal - i.e. you don’t need to use the brake." Not in reality. Of course you need to use two pedals - accelerator and decelerator. But when you press the decelerator pedal, the car decides whether it can slow down using only regeneration or has to supplement it with actual braking. You can see this happening on modern electric trains. On the District Line there is a brake pressure gauge at the end of each car that is visible to passengers. When slowing for a station, the gauge shows little air pressure is needed until the last second or so before the train stops, and then the brake pressure shoots up to keep the train stationary. |
