[DMCForum] Re: the EV1... vs Diesel

[Bob Brandys <BobB@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

innovations like regenerative braking.???????????
  The controllers used by those cars are highly sophisticated (read:
  computerized) and that kind of thinking was not ??????????even 
available to GM in the
  90's with their EV1.


The EV 1 used AC Propulsion drive trains.   The AC controller with the 
ac motor
made regenerative braking very easy.  That is why Tesla and  the Rav 
used ac
motors and controllers.

Regenerative braking with DC is much more complicated.
