Since they do not maintain a throttle vacuum, they are not subjected to the same engine braking effects. (en.wikipedia.org)
Like BMW's previous EV research projects — the Mini E and 1 series - based EfficientDrive — the i3 exhibits the strong regenerative braking effect when you lift the throttle, making the car essentially a one - pedal operation. (evworld.com)
This off - road ABS function is particularly advantageous on snow, sand or fine gravel, building up a wedge of the material beneath the vehicle in front of the wheels to provide an additional braking effect on loose ground or slippery surfaces. (topspeed.com)
