Re: Regenerative Braking?

This sounds like snake oil. Lets say the battery bank is 48V. We're
driving along at 40mph, maybe humping 35V into the motor.... now take
foot off the gas... motor is outputting about 30V lets say.... to get
this back into the battery, you need to hump it up above 48V right? And
to load down the motor to apply braking, you would need a low impedance
load to hook across the motor that would absorb that 30V.... maybe a
bank of boostcaps, but then you need a separate dc to dc converter to
get it out of the boostcap bank and back into the batteries?
