Hybrid Vehicles
how much electricity can be regenerated during one braking ?
Braking from 60 km/h (37.3 mph) until vehicle A stops increases the state of charge by around 1 % to 3 %. • Braking from 60 km/h (37.3 mph) until the vehicle stops increases the State of charge by around 1 to 3 %, depending on how the brake pedal is depressed. • Slow acceleration in the EV mode from 0 km/h (0 mph) to around 40 km/h (24.9 mph) will cause the State of charge to decrease by around 2 % to 3 %, therefore electricity that corresponds to this range of motion can be stored. • The most effective way of recharging energy is gently decelerating while depressing the brake pedal softly. On the other hand, sudden braking leads to less effective regeneration, because in In this case hydraulic braking does a greater portion of the deceleration.”
can HVs run without gasoline ? How far can HVs run with only the electricity stored in the HV battery?
No. HVs cannot run without gasoline. HVs can run only a ver A y limited distance with only the HV battery. There are two ways to charge the HV battery: (1) regenerative braking and (2) engine power. • The engine cannot operate if it runs out of gasoline, so the HV runs with the motor. In this case, the HV battery is charged with only regenerative braking, leading to a low (state of charge), which makes the HV unable to run. • Possible running distance is only a few kilometers. It depends on the state of charge and the driving conditions at the time.
