The new Renault Kangoo E-TECH Electric - Recuperative braking strategy in three stages

The recuperative braking strategy also contributes to the high efficiency of the Kangoo E-Tech Electric. The driver can switch between three recuperative braking levels at the selector lever: moderate recuperative braking: limited recuperation, for driving on highways and expressways medium recuperative braking: standard recuperation for use in a wide range of situations. When the accelerator pedal is released, the effect is the same as for a vehicle with an internal combustion engine maximum recuperative braking: maximum recuperation for use in city traffic, traffic jams or on mountain roads With maximum recuperation, the driver accelerates and brakes almost exclusively using the accelerator pedal. Even on downhill gradients, the vehicle can decelerate by simply releasing the accelerator pedal without having to use the brake pedal. Depending on the degree of deceleration, the system activates the brake lights so that following road users can react in time. The various combinations of driving programs and braking modes give the driver six options for optimizing comfort and range.
