The output shaft also was attached to a traction motor known as the "torquer" that could operate bimodally by either adding torque or subtracting it through regenerative braking. I also save on brakes with regenerative braking, have less frequent oil changes (10,000-mile intervals), and I make less air pollution than typical cars. The batteries store energy captured through regenerative braking, meaning that when you apply the brakes, a generator does the braking, recharging the batteries. |
