Electric cars have regenerative braking and also regular brakes.
Regenerative braking doesn't replace the need for brakes. There are lots of reasons why, safety reasons, that you need thr brakes to work even if power fails, when the car is parked etc.
- moralestapia 3y agoSure, but wouldn't having regenerative breaking put less load on the stock brakes?
- iancmceachern 3y agoAt certain times. At other times the regenerative braking isn't even operating. So unfortunately it doesn't do much good because you still need to design the brakes to cover what's needed during those tines when regenerative braking isn't helping.
