An electric motor is really good at arresting high rpm movement while charging, not so great at bringing low rpm movement to a stop. EVs blend together Regen and friction at slow speeds.
That does wear off the rust.
- m463 2y ago> An electric motor is really good at arresting high rpm movement I don't think any EV that I've heard of has full-range electric brakes. There are two interesting kinds of things that I think EVs could use... brake resistors - if the battery can't absorb the full power of regenerative braking, maybe giant resistors can take the dissipate the rest of the energy. eddy currents - it might be cool to use eddy currents to brake. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_current_brake https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_current_brake
