Also, he was discussing the Volt, which doesn’t work that way.
Huh. I thought the Volt has regenerative braking. Is that not so? Any links?
” When the brake pedal is applied (foot comes off accelerator pedal) the Electric Traction motor switches to a “Generator”. The “Generator” mode of the traction motor creates a reverse torque force to the front wheels…..slowing the car down. The reverse torque force is caused by the traction motor “Generator” making electricity which is directed into the battery. ” ….General Motors
