Thank you!

I don't know what I like the most: a) The way Prof. Kelly explains things making it so easy to understand, or b) The satisfaction to see someone truly loving its work as a teacher and the tech involved. The world would do a lot better if we had more Prof. Kellys teaching across all countries universities.

I am a Motor Vehicle Lecturer in England and I have found all of Prof Kelly's videos excellent, and use them extensively in my advanced Vehicle Technology classes. Keep up the good work John.

That was the clearest, most concise & easiest to understand explanation of EV/Hybrid regen braking I've heard. Prof Kelly, the, sound, video, graphic presentation, and your soft-spoken voice & manner made it a pleasure to watch. I'm looking forward to whatever is next on offer. Thx

I've taken multiple physics courses and electrical engineering courses and never learned so much!! Great video!!

Professor Kelly busted the myth about "B Mode". Many belief B mode uses the ICE piston compression to decrease the vehicle speed. This does not make any sense to waste the energy which otherwise can be easily recovered. Prof. Kelly clearly explained in B mode, a higher level of regenerative braking to (1) recover more energy to the high voltage battery and (2) the magnetic field puts a higher load to the spinning wheels so less hydraulic breaking is required. Today, I did an experiment with my 2020 Prius Prime PHEV in a 50 mile city driving test invloving mostly flat roads but with many traffic lights. Each time when I needed to slow down, I engaged the B mode until the braking effect diminished before using the hydraulic brake. The result was about 10-15% more range in one charge than not using the B mode at all. Thank you prof. Kelly for clearing this cloud.

Thanks a lot! That was some quality time spent on KZread.

Bryan Noga Check out Rich Rebuilds on KZread. He buys salvage Tesla's and gets them back on the road. He is NOT a technical guy... So don't expect the fantastic detail that this amazing channel gives. But if you want to see a Tesla torn apart.. it's a good place to start. I enjoyed watching it.. but it also. Made me NOT WANT a Tesla. Mostly because they won't sell you parts and don't really want people fixing there own cars...

@kens97sto171, I think it's a bit more involved than just "not wanting people to fix their own cars". Extra parts means additional inventory space and logistics... Most ICE manufacturers have a big warehouse where they store the extra parts... Consider that Toyota stocks parts for any vehicle for about 10 years after they're manufactured...

I just bought a Prius V this past week. I have been searching for information about how it works, mainly the regenerative braking, and this is the best technical explanation I have found. Thanks for the information and all the effort invested on it. I just subscribed. 😊

Dear Prof. Kelly , with this video you explain so much better about the fact that when you put a load on the GM 1 it will slow down the motor, a fact that i did't know , therefore i went to the patent lawyer but he didn't know how to explain why my invention it is not gonna work , he just told me that it simply is not working . Thank you very much !!!!

One thing I'd love to see - and pardon me if you've done this, I looked and didn't see it - is a discussion of the hydraulic braking system in hybrid & electric vehicles, and how the transition/combination of that and regenerative braking works. I get the sense there's some real wizardry there.

As far as I know when you push the brake pedal and the vehicle slows, the energy released is dissipated in part in the brake calipers and discs and in part is converted in electric energy used to recharge the battery. The same phenomenon of the slowing down of the vehicle through the friction of the tires on the asphalt strengthened by the action of the braking system. Moreover I've heard that in some EV when you push the brake pedal the first part of the braking action is obtained through the increase of the load and therefore the increase of the regeneration driven by the inverter. Only after a certain increase in the pressure on the pedal the hydraulic braking system is called to work.

@CGrantL

It’s different in almost every car. Some have paddles to control the regen, some use the brake pedal as @MbMax describes. Some have “one pedal driving” that will let you stop and go with just the gas pedal with no traditional brakes. Almost all of them let you change how it works. If you want to see it for yourself you should go take a test drive. Much like a standard transmission, there’s good technique required to get maximum efficiency and smoothness

@MacsPiano

The hydraulic system is the same as a normal car. Once you reach a certain low speed or requires hard braking that the regenerative braking inside the transaxle can’t perform. That’s what happens. The hydraulic brakes take over once the pedal throw reaches down low enough. There isn’t regenerative transfer through the calipers or pads.

Thanks for the demonstration! I was looking everywhere for the technical side regarding regenerative braking and you delivered just that. I appreciate it!

This is fantastic. I've been at Toyota for about a year and a half now and kept asking what actually made the vehicle slow down during regenerative braking. Nobody could answer and I couldn't find it anywhere in our information. So thanks alot for finally making sense of it for me.

I LOVE the thoroughness of your videos... Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You do so brilliantly.

Your videos are just SUPER, congratulations!! Just one note: in "B mode" MG2 will regenerate more power than "D mode", but that "extra-power" is not necessarily sent to the battery. In fact, MG1 can be used as a motor to speed up the ICE, dragging it, and use it as a brake. If battery SoC is 100% (the usable SoC, btw) "D mode" cannot guarantee ANY regenerative braking, while B mode can, since it can dissipate MG2 regenerated power through the ICE using MG1 to drive it F

Brilliant like ever. Thanks a lot and congratulations.

Thank you! Yes, the brake pads last a very long time.

I bought a 2019 Prius Prime on July 2, and have driven it about 800 miles. The explanation in this video of what "B" mode does is wonderful! When I am approaching a red light at 40 mph, and let off the accelerator pedal, the car slows down, and the power flow meter shows regen braking in effect. Pull the selector into "B", and the deceleration instantly increases substantially. The owner's manual says nothing about what's actually happening in "B" mode, and this video explains it perfectly! So, deceleration in "D" mode only uses MG2 for regen braking, but deceleration in "B" mode adds MG1 for additional regen braking. Prof. Kelly, I live in Sacramento, CA, and we get daytime high temps up to 115°F in the summer months. Is there enough cooling capacity in the P610 to keep the MG1 and MG2 stator coils within safe temperature limits in a climate as hot as ours gets? I try to drive in EV mode as much as possible, so I am giving those motor generators, and the battery, quite a workout. I am not sure yet how these stators are cooled. Are they submerged in the liquid transmission oil, or are they dry and cooled by air flowing through them?

As an auto tech, I've been in many training classes over the years (decades actually) and have had good and not so good teaching. Your way of simplifying the material is very good! Your demonstrations are excellent also. Practical demonstrations are often the best way to help understand the topic. In this video I was wondering, if by chance the imbalance of the drill adapter could be the reason behind the jagged AC curves and the peaks/valleys ? It's an interesting curve profile for sure. And I'm glad you were able to return to work after your accident! You obviously have a passion for teaching!

Great video! One comment on demonstrating how adding a load slows down the vehicle is that in your example the motor was acting like a generator and was converting the rotational kinetic energy of the rotor into electric current which was being converted into heat in the resistor. On the vehicle the kinetic energy would be converted to electric energy and stored in the battery. Thus the kinetic energy is removed from the car in the form of electricity and slows down the car.

What an amzing professor.

Thank you for this video and the hundreds of other very high indepth technical videos in your channel. I am no engineer but understanding rc electronic i believe there is a limit on battery regeneration depending on the charge state and temperature. This would in some cases like long inclines limit the regenerative force to protect the battery. In these circumstances to prevent brake fade the MG2 energy is diverted to MG1 which then drives the ICE. Of course the fuel and ignition is inhibited but the drag of the ICE compression provides the bulk of the braking force. I would guess the ICE rpm is varied to provide the commanded brake force.
