Does stiff regenerative braking make electric cars more dangerous?
In an electric car, as soon as your foot lifts off the accelerator pedal the regenerative braking system activates slowing the car down while recovering energy. The extent of this effect varies from car to car, but this is generally the way they work. The effect is similar to engine…
