When it comes to the kinetic energy recovery function, I believe many consumers do not understand that this is a function that helps trams to increase their mileage. Recently, in response to questions raised by some Tesla car owners about the "kinetic energy recovery" function, Tesla officially responded through the official Weibo.

Compared with oil vehicles, electric vehicles have long regarded the function of kinetic energy recovery as a feature to improve the range because of the limited mileage. However, due to the use of kinetic energy recovery function of the tram, and oil cars are different, many Tesla owners after driving the vehicle, will not adapt, or even difficult to get used to.

In response to the feedback from some car owners, Tesla said on the official Weibo that recently we have received feedback from many friends on the kinetic energy recovery function. I would like to give you a brief introduction to this function.

"Energy recovery is a unique and efficient system of electric vehicles, which can make full use of every part of energy and increase mileage through the recovery of excess energy in the process of vehicle deceleration. In the process of driving, through the simple adjustment of the acceleration pedal, you can achieve frequent start and stop, acceleration, deceleration, car following and other operations to reduce driving fatigue; in case of emergency, you can decelerate the vehicle in advance and provide multiple guarantees for your driving safety. "

"for customers who are exposed to kinetic energy recovery driving mode for the first time, you can also set the" stop mode "to" slow "and the" acceleration mode "to" easy "in the" driving "settings interface. You will get a more relaxed driving experience. A considerable number of customers will prefer the energy recovery mode after several days of familiarity. "

Earlier, Tesla made adjustments to the vehicle systems of all models, directly canceling the original function of self-setting kinetic energy recovery strength, and turning it into an "adaptive kinetic energy recovery intensity adjustment." This change affected the driving habits of the original car owners, which caused many car owners' dissatisfaction and asked for the restoration of energy recovery brake regulation function. Today, Tesla gave an introduction to this decision, saying that the mileage can be increased.

Kinetic energy recovery function is a common function to improve the mileage of electric vehicles, which enables electric vehicles to convert energy l into battery pack charging while braking, which can take into account both energy replenishment and deceleration. This technical design seems to be very necessary. the fundamental reason for the dissatisfaction of car owners is that the recovery intensity of the adaptive output of the vehicle is big, sometimes small, and completely illogical, making it impossible for the driver to predict at all. Therefore, Tesla has been repeatedly asked to resume setting his own kinetic energy recovery intensity in order to have a grasp of the driving conditions.

Although this function will make the car owner feel dizzy when the switch is loose, as this function gradually makes the car owner "fall in love" after getting used to it, after all, in adapting to the single pedal mode, the performance of supplementary battery life due to kinetic energy recovery is very considerable.

However, in the recent frequent "out of control" accidents encountered by Tesla, there are also questions in the industry that may be caused by this function. At the 2021 China Electric vehicle 100 Forum held a few days ago, Tao Zhe, CEO of Shanghai Nathan Automotive Electronics Co., Ltd. mentioned in his speech that the design of Tesla's single pedal mode is already changing the way users drive cars and will lead to more safety accidents in case of emergency. The same is true of the comments mentioned by many netizens.

In addition, it is understood that in some areas with lower temperatures, the kinetic energy recovery system will also be weakened due to the lower temperature of the vehicle battery, resulting in the illusion of "unexpected acceleration" when car owners drive in single-pedal mode.

Earlier, Tao Lin, vice president of foreign affairs of Tesla, also pointed out on his social platform that the 246 cases of Tesla's out-of-control acceleration were all caused by drivers stepping on the wrong pedals.

In any case, Tesla's frequent "out of control" accidents will also be investigated by the relevant regulatory authorities and come to a conclusion as soon as possible. According to public reports, more than 10 "out of control" incidents have occurred in Tesla since the second half of 2020 alone.

And the reason why so many consumers choose Tesla models, but also because Tesla in part of the technology is in the lead, so that consumers can experience more leading technology fun. So from the current point of view, even if the sales of Tesla, which has frequent accidents, is still rising, the discussion about Tesla will continue in the future.
