Comment on Tesla Cybertruck gets less than 80% of advertised range in YouTuber’s test
farcaster@lemmy.world 10 months agoOne difference is EVs have regenerative breaking. Using your brakes in an ICE is 100% wasted energy, while regen breaking in an EV returns some (I don’t know what percentage) of the car’s kinetic energy back into the battery.

Hybrids have regen as well. Some phevs and some evs let you set the regen strength so you can either brake by letting off the accelerator (highest return to the battery) or you can just coast (lowest return) or somewhere in between.
