SUMMARY

The average efficiency of regenerative braking systems is estimated to be 31.3%. This efficiency is influenced by several factors, including the state of charge of the battery, the number of wheels utilizing the regenerative braking system, and the system's topology, whether parallel or serial. Understanding these variables is crucial for optimizing the performance of regenerative braking in electric and hybrid vehicles.
