A few notes: 1. Most EV are now using electric/hydraulic brakes, no more vacuum pumps. 2. Modern EV have a system to prevent brake rust, by sometimes applying the hydraulic brakes instead of regen 3. Modern EV with brake by wire are able to retract the pads away from the rotor, to improve efficiency. Then quickly bring them close and precharge the hydraulic in anticipation of braking

No regen system will recapture energy with 100% efficiency. Regen off and not spending the energy in the first place will always be more efficient than breaking using any level of regen

Another great video. I actually bought a 38kw Ioniq after watching your videos and I LOVE it. It's interesting, only this last week I've noticed it adds range v slowly on that top right 0.5mile bar graph, so it is still regen-ing when you have 0 on the regen. However if you long pull the right flap to manually take it off, you do feel every so slightly that the regen is fully off. It's ever so slight ineach mode, even though they both say 0

Regen braking is very good but if you after efficiency better set that to lowest possible settings. One pedal brakes is also not a good idea as these two kills the free rolling and this is the most important for efficient driving and extending your range

After trying both maximum regen and mild regen, I can say full one pedal mode regen has its disadvantages. The strong friction prevents the car from coasting as freely as it would in the lower setting. The strongest setting is more useful in slow, heavy traffic.

with the ioniq electric, you don't need to touch the service brake pedal at all most of the time! if you hold the left steering wheel paddle down, it will engage an even-stronger-than-level-3 regen braking and actually bring the car to a complete stop. once you get the timing down, getting those perfectly smooth stops with no service brake usage at all is very satisfying. possibly you know this already, or someone else has already said it (forgive me if so)

If you can charge from home, its 7p pkWh over night. An Ioniq will only cost ~£155 per year to do 10,000 miles. If it went up by a penny, that's only an extra £22 over 10,000 miles.

Regen appeared to peak at 77kW when you used the brakes at 21:59. Could you explain how using the brake peddle increased the regen output of the motor above the 70kW you saw when not braking please. Is it something to do with increasing the electrical resistance of the motor/generator to increase the physical resistance to torque? But then what happens to the electricity? Does it go in the battery or is it lost to heat due to the electrical resistor (assuming there is one)?
@GoGreenAutos
29 күн бұрын
Oh yes, just watched and you're right. Touching the brake pedal will set the motor to maximum regen to assist the braking. Here I only lightly touched the brakes which would have hardly caused any actual hydraulic brake pressure, but obviously increased the regen a bit, so the car did slow down. As to what happens to the electricity from regen... it goes through the inverter and back into the battery pack.

Hello Simon. In any regen mode, if you pull and 'hold' the left regen paddle it will apply even more regen and bring the car to a complete halt without using the brakes! If however you have already started to brake with the break pedal the paddle is ignored. Have a play...

Is using cruise control massively less efficient than this? I do tend to use it a fair bit, but when not using, I will adapt this method of setting regen to 3 and using the accelerator. For some reason I was thinking this might cause extra wear on the motor. I don't know why I thought that!

The only moving/wearing parts in the motor are the bearings. They're spinning all the time regardless of what the motor is doing. I've always find I can drive far more efficiently than the cruise control. I almost never use it.
@Nikoo033
3 ай бұрын
On the 28kWh Ioniq, the cruise control is very clever, and uses regen and coasting automatically exactly as speed and hills/slopes require. I would advise to have a maximum of 2 level of regen before engaging the cruise control because in emergency braking the overall combination of regen and disk braking is too strong and a bit dangerous if cars are driving close behind you.

Regen acts like a brake to slow you down it does this because the more load you put on the motor the harder it is to turn, think of it a bit like driving a petrol car with your brakes applied and you will soon fine out your fuel tank empties much faster as the engine has to work harder. The captured energy is always much lower than the extra energy needed to overcome the extra resistance which means you would get less range.

Is there a way with the Ioniq, or EVs in general, to force the car to use the friction brakes? Just thinking that giving them a decent workout from time to time would stop them rusting or siezing up, as I understand can happen with EVs

Yes just press the brake pedal. But yes you're right, using the occasionally will help to stop them seizing. Just braking hard at a fast speed does the job and that will also clean up the pads and disc surface too. But when an EV is fully charged, the regen if low or even off as there's no where for the energy to go (as the battery is already full), so you'll be using the brakes for the first few miles anyway.

@@GoGreenAutos Thanks! I had it in mind that with some or all EVs the brake might be 'fly by wire' so pressing the brake pedal might simply tell the car to slow or stop by blending regen with the friction brakes. Guessing this is untrue and the brake pedal simply operates the friction brakes under the sole control of the driver as is the case with ICE vehicles.
