A new Xiaomi YU7 Max’s brakes caught fire on track, reaching over 600°C under heavy use. The brand says organic materials ...

Regenerative braking is safer than conventional brakes for long descents down steep slopes. Conventional brakes can burn or ...

Every conventional braking system does this; when a brake caliper clamps down on a brake disc, the friction between the two surfaces is what slows the vehicle down, creating heat along the way.

The benefits of galvanized brake pads on cars with regenerative braking are clear, and that’s why NRS Brakes offers galvanized replacement pads for a range of EVs, from the Audi e-tron to the ...

Using the regenerative braking system in an electric or hybrid vehicle doesn't wear out the brake pads at all and adds up to 20% additional driving range.

We think of brakes in terms of applying friction between the brake lining and the brake drum, or between the disc and the rotor, to slow the vehicle. That’s what happens mechanically, but in ...

In Consumer Reports' tests, the brake light on some Genesis, Hyundai, and Kia EVs don’t always illuminate as the vehicle decelerates during regenerative braking.

Regenerative braking is the hero your brake pads deserve, slashing the need for actual physical contact by as much as 70%. This is fantastic news for pad wear. In a normal, ...

Perhaps the biggest advantage is how much easier it is on your car’s brakes. With regenerative braking, your car’s friction brakes are rarely used — essentially meaning that they’ll last a ...

This said, a regenerative brake can be beneficial for an electric vehicle’s energy-use efficiency in stop-start traffic. Are there other ways to recover energy?

Every conventional braking system does this; when a brake caliper clamps down on a brake disc, the friction between the two surfaces is what slows the vehicle down, creating heat along the way.
