Technician A says that when the driver releases the accelerator pedal, regenerative braking begins. Technician B says that the hydraulic brakes are used at this time. Who is correct?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Technician A is correct because regenerative braking does begin when the driver releases the accelerator pedal in an electric or hybrid vehicle. Technician B is incorrect because hydraulic brakes are not always used in regenerative braking; instead, the braking force is generated by the electric motor and the kinetic energy of the vehicle is converted into electrical energy to recharge the battery.
