When riding the brake is a good thing - lithium ion battery pack

Any driving school coach worthy of his or her clipboard will tell you to ride the brakes-put your feet on the brake pedal when you have no intention of slowing down or stopping, no matter how light-is the habit of driving
Not only will it wear the brake pads faster than normal driving conditions, it will bring uncertainty to the driver behind you, who sees your red rear brake light on, but is not entirely sure of your intentions.
Those of us who learn to drive with a manual transmission have also learned to use downshifting instead of braking to slow down the vehicle, which has become second nature after so many years.
All of this makes driving an electric car a way to re-learn how to drive the experience.
This is because the braking of electric vehicles is actually charging the battery because of a clever engineering technology called regenerative braking.
There's this system on gasoline.
Hybrid power system.
So, the more you brake on Nissan Leaf, the more you can protect your battery range.
In fact, you added it.
Again, going downhill from the brake and throttle with your right foot will re-collect the energy into lithium
Ion battery pack.
I 've been keeping driving logs for the last few weeks
From my Upper Lonsdale home in North Vancouver to a kilometer commute to the Vancouver Sun office on the downtown waterfront, the effect of this regeneration system is very remarkable.
So much so that when I entered my parking lot at work, I had an average of 9 kilometers.
In other words, I left home with a distance of 100 and arrived at work with a distance of 109 km.
15 kilometers though!
Of course, going home, the gradual climb from sea level to my hillside residence has the opposite effect.
But this is more the case in later blogs.
