Definitely bad writing. Where do they think the energy that got the car up to speed originally (which is then partially recouped via regenerative braking) came from?
- emmelaich 4y agoDon't be too hard on them, it reads fine for most people. I mean by your argument, ICEs are solar powered, right? :-)
- taspeotis 4y agoDidn’t they used to store energy recovered from braking in flywheels? Not chemical batteries in a more conventional sense. And yes fundamentally it comes from their batteries first and foremost.
