This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I have driven multiple EVs with this feature including trains. Regenerative breaking always has a delay, because the electrical fields need to build up before they can exert force on the motor first. I'd guess it takes about 1/3 to 1/2 of a second for the full force to be applied. Again, every train breaks regeneratively as well and no one ever said in my life, that they were getting sick on a train. This article may be clickbait, that's all I'm saying.
