Coasting Vs. Regenerative Braking: What Saves EV Range The Most?
- Electric vehicles (EVs) have the advantage of recovering energy while slowing down through regenerative braking, converting kinetic energy to electricity.
- Another energy-saving technique in EVs is coasting, where the vehicle glides with minimal power inputs for efficiency.
- A comparison test done with Volkswagen's ID. Buzz showed regenerative braking to be more effective overall, but not always the best for maximizing range.
- Effectiveness of coasting on range varies based on factors like terrain, weight, and driving style, being more effective on flat terrain.
- The ID. Buzz, despite design appeal, is heavy and less aerodynamic, impacting efficiency.
- Regenerative braking in the ID. Buzz offers mild regen experience and requires use of the brake pedal for full stops.
- Efficiency observations indicated 3.2 miles per kilowatt-hour while coasting in suburban roads, dropping in traffic and rain conditions.
- Combined use of regenerative braking and coasting is recommended for optimal range preservation in EVs.
- Hyundai Motor Group EVs provide multiple regenerative braking settings, enhancing efficiency in various driving conditions.
- Anticipatory and defensive driving, along with smart driving habits, can significantly impact EV efficiency and range preservation.
