← ScienceWhich outcome results when regenerative braking efficiency degrades during repetitive stop-start city driving cycles in a hybrid vehicle?
A)Increased pad wear and particulate emissions✓
B)Decreased kinetic energy during cold soaks
C)Reduced battery capacity and active imbalances
D)Lowered inverter temperature, more peak current
💡 Explanation
Reduced regenerative braking efficiency increases friction brake reliance; wear increases because mechanical braking dissipates kinetic energy as heat via friction, rather than electrical recovery by employing generators during each brake cycle; therefore more particulates, rather than capturing electrical power at each brake cycle.
