The braking distance is the distance a vehicle travels from the moment when its brakes are fully applied to the moment when it comes to a complete stop. This distance depends on the pre-braking speed of the vehicle and the coefficient of friction between the tires and the road sur...
Stopping distance = reaction distance + braking distance. What is the overall stopping distance at 20 miles per hour? At 20 mph during perception and reaction time, a vehicle will travel 45 feet (30 feet per second x 1.5 seconds). Once the brakes are applied, it takes approximately 19 feet...
Regenerative braking comes in different forms: Recapturing energy under braking Recapturing energy when the driver lifts off the throttle The stronger the braking force, the more energy is recovered. The same goes for the amount of resistance applied when the driver lifts off the throttle; this is...

At 30mph, all but one of our cars managed to come to a halt in time to avoid colliding with the stationary vehicle ahead. The ID 5 is the only one that didn’t, although its automatic braking system had started to reduce speed and, therefore, the severity of the impact. ...
The latter’s engine is also more refined when worked hard. However, the NX has the ability to cover short distances in relative silence solely on electric power. Although the X3 can come to an emergency stop in a shorter distance than the NX, its brakes feel slightly grabby, and coming...
This is what the First Ever Electric Vehicle looked like.. Astonishing, right? Although his car was barely more than an electrified wagon, it stimulated people’s interest in electric cars. What is the Range of EVs? The range of an electric vehicle is nothing but the distance a vehicle can...
The driving culture is a bit impatient, so don’t freak out if people start honking at you while you are waiting to enter the roundabout. It is better to take your time than try to rush. You also need to be careful on freeways because roads can end with no warning. Then you’ll ha...
