Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for adaptive regeneration systems for electric vehicles. In one embodiment, an example method may include determining, by an adaptive regeneration system, that an electric vehicle is decelerating, determining an output voltage of a power source at the electric vehicle, determining that a voltage potential of a battery system at the electric vehicle is greater than the output voltage, and causing the voltage potential of the battery system to be modified to a value equal to or less than the output voltage.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- determining, by one or more computer processors coupled to at least one memory, that a braking system is being applied at an electric vehicle;
- determining an output voltage of a power source at the electric vehicle;
- determining that a voltage potential of a battery system at the electric vehicle is different than the output voltage;
- and
- substantially matching the voltage potential of the battery system to the output voltage.
