Eddy currents develop in proportion to the speed of the moving magnetic field. So if you used eddy currents for braking, it would be most effective at high speed and gradually have no stopping power at low speed.
- sbradford26 4y agoThat is mostly true about regenerative braking as well. Once you hit a certain speed the vehicle has to use some energy to get the motors to actually stop the vehicle. Usually EVs and such will just rely on the friction brakes for the last bit but some cars like the Bolt will automatically use some energy to slow the car to a stop so you can use do one pedal driving.
- hoosieree 4y agoGood point, and a good reason to have friction brakes also installed.
