How Your Battery Can Help Generate Power During a Power Outage?
In the United States, everyone will experience at least two hours of a power outage during the year. While this is a considerably low number, a power outage can come in various ways: from standard maintenance to natural emergencies like storms and blizzards. It can be said that electricity is an essential part of our lives. It is the lifeblood for many of the activities that we do daily, and now, even our vehicles. However, your electric vehicle is essentially a large battery on wheels. Thus, one surprising advantage of your EV battery is that you can have the ability to use it to power your home in case of emergencies. Even though your electric vehicle can be charged using your home’s power. The opposite can be done to power your home by using the energy left from your car’s battery.

The driver can activate the electric regeneration by simply lifting your foot from the accelerator to the coast or braking the car by pressing the brake pedal. The system first appeared in 1967, when AMC debuted the AMC Amitron concept car to showcase their vision for the future with electric vehicle. However, regenerative braking wasn’t put into commercial production passenger vehicle until Toyota finally introduced the Prius in the 1990s. Not only that, regenerative braking has been beneficial in motor racing. Thus making them more efficient, cleaner but also faster as well. Formula 1 teams have been using a version of regenerative braking called KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System) since the 2009. With the system continuing development later become an essential part of many motor racing series as well as translating them to the current road car…
