Benchmarking of regenerative braking for a fully electric car

Short range of electric vehicles is one of the stumbling blocks in the way of electric cars to gaining wide user acceptance and becoming a major market player. The possibility to recover vehicle energy otherwise lost as heat during braking is an inherent advantage of a hybrid electric or a fully electric vehicle. Regeneration has the potential to answer this problem by aiding in range extension with recuperation of vehicle energy during braking....
