I set out to prove that regenerative braking in electric vehicles gives you more range compared to using traditional friction brakes. However, it turns out the Kia EV5 does something that made this experiment flip on its head! Curious - check out the video. If you know of a car that can prove this, please comment!

ABOUT
I'm that guy who took the Victorian Government to the High Court of Australia to rid our country of the world's worst EV tax. This was not only unfair and unjust, it was also a massive disincentive for new buyers of EVs and delayed our progression to cleaner/greener forms of transportation.
