This diagram from Motor Trend comparing electric vehicles - #EVs - with internal combustion engine - ICE - vehicles is fascinating. I’ve found that use of regenerative braking enables me to get considerably more range on my new Volvo C40 Recharge - this confirms that it can achieve 22% more efficiency.
@cassandra17lina very useful; thanks! I’ve got a 13yo Volvo XC60 (Hermione) that now goes to my 17yo son - so looking at the new Volvos. Likely will get a hybrid though as not sure about full electrical given I do a lot of cross-🇨🇦 driving between Edmonton and Vancouver Island.
@JGSchaeffer @cassandra17lina I wonder if any hybrids use regenerative braking...
@JGSchaeffer @b4cks4w @cassandra17lina
I think most of them do, these days
@tyghebright @b4cks4w @cassandra17lina Good to know; thanks!
