i-PEDAL This is an i-PEDAL Indicator symbol. It is found in Genesis electric vehicles (EVs) and is part of the vehicle’s regenerative braking system. The symbol is seen in green when the i-PEDAL system is turned on. Before continuing, is one of these truly your symbol?? If yes, read on below. Otherwise, you can return …

Regenerative braking So just how much energy does regenerative braking recover? Well, there’s quite a bit of information floating around about the topic out there, and most of it is highly subjective. That said, the best answer is “up to 20%” of an electric vehicle’s (EV) range. So, as a best case scenario, an EV …

Regenerative braking I decided I wanted to answer some common questions about regenerative braking and did some Google searches. AI gave the first response (a technology, by the way, that really hurts my business), and turned up some surprises. The largest of these is yet another reference to problems with the regular, or friction, brakes. …

But regenerative braking remains a mystery to the company and to much of the general public. Fortunately, this doesn’t impact my insurance rates, but it troubles me nonetheless. Then I spoke with a friend who is well aware …

Even cleaner cars: EVs reduce brake dust
Brake dust Just when we thought we knew everything there is to know about regenerative braking, we saw this from InsideEVs. There’s a whole new way that an EV helps improve the air we breath. Brake dust! Or more to the point, the lack of it. The use of regenerative braking reduces brake wear and …
