It could have something to do with the fact that in order to regen-brake a 1800kg car at your typical 0.5g at 100 km/h you need some 270kW of motor/generator power. This is the main reason your Teslas and Polestars have these otherwise outlandish engines, and if you already have it, why not accelerate at traction limit, creating all these aerosols and what not.
- goodcanadian 3y agoIt is extremely atypical to be braking at 0.5g. That is an emergency braking situation, in which case, it is perfectly reasonable to be engaging the mechanical braking.
- jojobas 3y agoModern cars emergency brake at 0.87-1.08g. Maybe 0.5g is not your everyday braking, but not something you'd remember in a few weeks. https://www.sae.org/publications/technical-papers/content/2023-01-0616/ https://www.sae.org/publications/technical-papers/content/20...
