Regenerative braking is pretty new, and something that you may not know a lot about, which is where we come in! We have true professionals on-hand to give you the info and help you need. That's why we highly recommend using the form below to reach out to us for any further questions.
Can you tell me what regenerative braking is?
The first question we know you'll have is what exactly regenerative braking is, otherwise, why would you care about it? When you are driving an electric vehicle like the Prologue, the electric motors that move your Prologue forward are also able to slow it down. The act of regenerative braking utilizes the kinetic energy of your moving vehicle, and uses that to turn into electrical energy that can keep you charged and ready for every trip! The energy that is gained through this system is stored in the battery system, meaning that it is able to stay within the system so you lose less energy in the process throughout.
Will I be able to tell if my car is using regenerative braking?
You know that regenerative braking exists, but how are you sure that it is actually working for you? There is a lot of unknown with a new kind of system that you may have never heard of before. When you are driving around, and you end up decelerating, this is a good time to look at the Power Indicator Gauge, which is to the right of your speedometer. When the Power indicator goes negative, you will know that your Prologue is utilizing regenerative braking! You will also be able to see a regenerative battery icon when the system is active. If you don't see any of this, or have more questions, you can always stop by our dealership where one of our professionals can help you out.
Can I adjust the regenerative braking modes?
You can adjust regenerative braking! This may seem like a shock, but Honda understands that being able to customize every drive you go on is absolutely essential to finding the perfect ride. Many drivers love the One-Pedal Driving capabilities of Prologue, but it can take some getting used to. This is a system that allows you to accelerate and decelerate by using just your accelerator pedal. By releasing your accelerator completely, you will begin to decelerate quickly. This allows you to have more driving range, better efficiency, and more control over the speed which you are going. It's also worth mentioning that you'll have to deal with fewer replacements for your brakes because of this.
