What is the brake energy recovery? |

There are different type of electric engines, Alkè electric vehicles use a special last generation engine with separate excitation, with a power of 6kW and peak of 17.5kW (20kW for the ATX 280E). This electric engine during normal operation receives electricity from batteries.
During braking operation the same engine works as a dynamo and generates energy that, instead of being wasted in heat from brakes, is sent to the drive batteries. This make possible for the electric vehicle to get lower average consumption and consequently higher autonomy. |
