When impending wheel lockup is detected, the computer signals the hydraulic control unit to apply and release (automatically «pumping») the brakes several times per second with split - second timing, providing a level of braking efficiency that even professional race car drivers can not duplicate and resulting in shorter stopping distances and greater braking and steering control
In an effort to maximize efficiency and range, the Soul EV uses Kia's third - generation regenerative braking system to capture up to 12 percent of the car's kinetic energy, which is fed back into the battery while the Soul EV is coasting and braking.
The combination of efficient car design, regenerative braking, turning the engine off for traffic stops, significant electrical energy storage and efficient internal combustion engine design give the HSD powered car significant efficiency advantages — particularly in city driving.
(I am aware that the weight of the car is less important - efficiency wise - in a car with brake regen)
This reduces emergency braking distance and contributes to fuel efficiency improvement, auto component downsizing and price competitiveness of cars.
To maximise the efficiency and potential range of the Soul EV, regenerative braking captures and recycles the car's kinetic energy while it is coasting and braking.
