regenerative braking is literally just a power supply to get the spinning energy of the wheel back to the battery. in concept, electric cars are way simpler than ice, the gizmos they put in modern cars make them look more complex.

Yeah but I ain't built an electric nor a hybrid and I ain't programmed one neither. I built an ice engine before and those are simple. Fun too. I figure the programming is the hard part.

I don't want a car without the fancy safety features like checking your blind spot sensor or the backup camera or the dash cam or the adaptive cruise. For one, they lower your insurance rates.
