Regenerative Braking
Regenerative braking in the Volvo XC90 Recharge plug-in hybrid SUV is a clever feature that recycles energy usually lost during braking. Normally, when you press the brake pedal, a moving vehicle's kinetic energy turns into heat. However, in the Volvo XC90 Recharge, regenerative braking captures this energy. Here's how it works: Each time you brake, the system converts the SUV's kinetic energy into electrical energy and stores it in the battery for later use rather than wasting it. As a result, whenever you press the brake pedal, you're actively recharging the battery. The process is especially useful in stop-and-go driving, where frequent braking occurs. Regenerative braking will extend the all-electric range of the Volvo XC90 Recharge, contributing to its overall energy efficiency and making it an even more attractive option for eco-conscious drivers in the Bay Area.
