For sure all future models will have wireless charging.
It's a nice feature but for me, value added would be real charging by using the brakes. I’ve seen demos from the new Audi SUV that charges batteries up to 100 km only with regenerative braking. |

That´s basically what Volvo is doing with the B-Models this year. OK there will be no stand alone electric drive, but the energy will be recuperated and put back into to acceleration.

That has been the case with all hydrids for many years i would think .. certainly the volvos do this and when you take your foot off the throttle going down hill ...

yeah this is one of Robert Llewellyn real pet hates at the moment how everyone thinks that this "Regenerative breaking" is something new when in fact the original Prius did it but didn't make a massive fan fair about it.

Tip: There is a big difference between breaking and braking.

Yes but it doesnt give that much power back to the battery.

This is where ultracapacitors come in, they can take very high current but don't have the same energy density as batteries. They're the perfect candidate for getting the most out of regenerative braking. I wonder if the B cars will use supercapacitors? Last year Volvo signed a deal with Maxwell for ultracapacitors. |
