braking

A brake is a mechanical device that inhibits motion by absorbing energy from a moving system. It is used for slowing or stopping a moving vehicle, wheel, axle, or to prevent its motion, most often accomplished by means of friction.

    Issue after auto emergency braking.

    So the other day while filtering in the left lane on green lights and a lorry on the right lane held on red lights an eScooter appears from in front of the lorry, fairly quickly - completely disregarding any traffic around him and any road and crossing laws. I was on the brake quickly but...

    KERS3 vs Braking

    So on youtube I just learnt that when you press your foot on the brake it is similar to having KERS3 on... it will regen your battery when you press the brake. I didn't think it did. So you could technically drive around in KERS1 and if you could use your brake efficiently it would regent the...

    AUTOMATIC BRAKING

    Had an interesting experience the other day. Driving along a major street in town, when I noticed a chap approaching the junction on my left at speed, and wondered if he was going to stop at the junction. I was getting ready to brake or take evasive action, but my car was way ahead of me and...

    Phantom or Justified Braking?

    I recorded this on my dash camera today: I'm assuming the Tesla itself initiated the emergency braking manoeuvre rather than the driver but I'm wondering whether that very small deviation from the lorry actually justified the reaction? Lane 3 was clear so the driver could have moved to the...

    Emergency Braking

    A couple of times recently my car brakes suddenly when a car in front is doing a left turn and I am nowhere near it and no danger it’s quite alarming and doesn’t sound like it’s doing the brakes any good crunching to a halt. How can I turn this feature off and will it stay off or do I need to...

    Hello I have had my ZS EV since April. I have had a few occasions when the brakes would come on momentarily at low speed. Today however, I was traveling at 40 mph when the brakes came on unexpectedly causing great alarm to me and the car behind! I had noticed that the information center (the...

    Loud braking noise with MG Pilot, and roll back on hill

    My father's one month old ZS EV is making a loud, strange, disconcerting noise when the MG Pilot is decelerating, especially when coming to a complete stop (traffic jam assist?). Only tested in KERS mode 3. It doesn't make the sound when using the brake pedal. The best way I can describe it is...

    What is KERS or regerative braking on an electric car?

    One of the clever ways that electric cars conserve electricity (to extend their range) is by recovering it when braking or slowing down. Exactly how they do this doesn't really matter so long as it works. It's called by various names by different manufacturers and organisations. Some refer to...

    Regenerative Braking - Range Increase

    Hello All, I always wondered how and when does the regenerative braking put back mileage/range back into the battery? I'm assuming it will do this when the car is turned off and the battery starts to settle? I say this because last night after a long trip, the range to empty was at 40 miles...

    Use of KERS (regenerative braking) on the MG ZS EV

    I have been the different articles regarding range etc. and notice that KERS is hardly mentioned. Why is this, I would be interested to know how this has been used, and if so does this affect obtainable range
