Regenerative braking performance analysis on GANG CAR electric

Increasing the driving range of an electric vehicle can be achieved by applying regenerative braking. In this paper, how much regenerative braking affects the vehicle will be discussed. The vehicle prototype on this study is Gang Car Electric, a conversion from internal combustion engine car type. The regenerative braking configuration enables the feedback energy active as soon as the throttle pedal being released and emulate engine retarding function of conventional car. With that goal, we still want the vehicle to be able to cruise in a constant speed on the cruise mode. The proposed configuration is included in this paper.
