Is this sarcasm??? Do you honestly think that regenerative braking is harder/faster than brakes? Are you the type of person that is hard accelerating from every stop sign in the suburbs?
- mrep 7y agoNo, harder and faster than coasting to a stop. Granted, full coasting to a stop really only makes sense for red lights but I'm assuming delivery drivers are doing some coasting when coming up to stop signs/yields which is what I do.
- p1mrx 7y ago> hard accelerating from every stop sign in the suburbs? If you want to deliver lots of packages without violating traffic laws, then rapid acceleration seems like obvious low-hanging fruit. If the vehicle is quiet and nobody's in the way, then what is the problem?

- p1mrx 7y agoAcceleration is power intensive, not necessarily energy intensive. You need (1/2)mv^2 to reach a given velocity, regardless of how much time is spent. If rapid acceleration happens to be less efficient, then that's just an engineering problem.
