• car uses regenerative breaking, where the speed of the car is utilized to give energy to the motor. This creates electricity that recharges the batteries and allows the whole system to run on reverse in order to create electricity.
• A combustion engine car loses high levels of kinetic energy each time the brake is applied. This energy is changed into heat via brake friction.
• Electric cars are more than capable of handling the braking required in daily driving. There are some cars that are equipped with brake pads that remain in excellent condition even after 25 years of use.
• For city driving, the regular use of regenerative braking can increase the car’s range by as much as 30 percent.
• It is perfectly normal for a first-time electric car owner to feel strange when using regenerative braking for the first time. It takes some time and practice to be able to use it efficiently.

During the first few days or weeks of driving your new electric car, try different styles of driving to determine which works best for getting maximum range from the car. Experiment, but have fun with it. Driving your electric car is supposed to be an enjoyable experience, and it is doubly fulfilling to get the maximum range from your car, even when you do not need it.
