Powerful EV With No Traditional Brakes
New Highly Advanced Technology Replaces Traditional Brakes Source: DS Automobiles Future of Driving Imagine driving a car with no traditional brakes! New technology called electric motor regeneration is enabling just that. In Paris, luxury automaker DS Automobiles, owned by Chrysler parent company Stellantis, has designed a highly advanced, electric car without conventional brakes. Called the E-Tense concept, the electric vehicle is very powerful and can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in two seconds. It showcases the future of cars with no brakes. The car brakes and is stopped by using electric motor regeneration, a new technology that DS is deploying in its Formula E race car, the DS E-Tense Performance.
