“As the increased workload on braking systems of EVs became a known problem, however, some electric cars have developed regenerative braking systems to curb the increase of air pollutants” - cue that the author is just pursuing anti-EV bigotry.
EVs try to retain energy as much as possible, so regenerative braking is an obvious & critical development to capture otherwise wasted energy - NOT as some scheme to reduce particulate emissions (brake dust being a pathetically trivial issue).
Article starting with such idiocy, I’m not interested in reading the rest of it.
Regenerative braking has been around for decades. The problem is that brakes must absorb thousands of horsepower in a high speed hard stop, and the electric motors (acting as generators) aren't able to absorb that much power. Even worse, the batteries cannot be charged that fast. The issue is not the need to develop regenerative braking, the problem is what to do with the braking energy.
