YouTube creator and self-taught engineer Jeremy Fielding built his regenerative braking rig from spare parts, then made a ...

The most common motor style for an electric bike is a hub motor (a motor in the center of the wheel), and we’ve all known for ...

Two of the key selling points of hybrid and electric vehicles are that they’re both more energy-efficient and, over time, need less maintenance than regular internal combustion engine vehicles. Both ...

Q: I love your column – it is the first thing I turn to every week, much to my spouse’s consternation. You are able to explain mechanical things in a way I understand. I have a question about ...

Electric cars are known for regenerative braking, so it is easy to assume the friction brakes enjoy a quiet life. The real picture is more complicated. Many EVs place sudden, heavy loads on their pads ...

Cars are getting streamlined and minimalist. We’ve seen approval for vehicles without a steering wheel or pedals in the effort to make cars with increased autonomous capabilities. But now, automakers ...

Tesla's regenerative braking system is a revolutionary technology that converts kinetic energy into electrical energy, enhancing the vehicle's efficiency and extending its range. This system, integral ...

Regenerative braking is built into nearly every modern hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and fully electric vehicle—and even hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle. It's a key piece of the electrified propulsion technology ...
