4. EV braking methods

  • Recuperation (battery charging, alternatively brake resistor, supercapacitor, flywheel)
  • Mechanical brakes
  • Most often a combination of recuperation (battery charging) and mechanical brakes

  • Recuperation braking, when recharging the battery, depends on the BMS - SoC state, temperature and cell voltage (balancing), the maximum charging current, which differs fundamentally from the magnitude of the discharging current (eg 10C when discharging, but only 1C when charging).
