why can’t electric cars be charged by their own movement?
In: 14
Because in order to turn the kinetic energy of the car into electrical energy, you need to take away that kinetic energy – slowing the car down. And with everything else in physics, nothing is 100% efficient much less > 100% efficient.
Regenerative braking DOES provide some electrical energy to electric cars and hybrids, but it’s just a small supplement.
