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 ...

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.

There are multiple methods that automakers utilize to make hybrid and battery-electric vehicles (BEVs, more commonly referred to as EVs) as efficient as possible. One is improving their overall ...

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.
