Not sure how this can save much energy if you have regen. My 2014 Chevy Volt
has 95,000 miles and the brake pads are like new. The only time I use the
brakes is at the very end of stopping and holding the vehicle at a traffic
light so it doesn't creep forward.

Warner Electric’s new brake design extends EV range / IVT
]
KINGSTON, Mass. – Warner Electric, a leading brand of Altra Industrial
Motion Corp., has developed a new electromagnetic brake that greatly reduces
power consumption during operation.
The SSPB pulse brake is highly efficient and well suited to electric vehicle
applications – increasing range while controlling soft stops proficiently.
Power saving is an important consideration in most applications, but none
more so than the electric vehicle market. OEMs are battling to maximize the
effective range of electric vehicles to gain an operational and market
advantage. Increasing efficiency and reducing visits to the charge point are
of paramount importance.
The longer the range, the more productive, practical and cost-effective the
vehicle becomes. With finite battery power to work with, focus is now
turning to reducing the power consumption of auxiliary vehicle systems to
further improve vehicle range.
Warner Electric has leveraged its extensive experience as a global
electromagnetic brake OEM to deliver an efficient braking solution to meet
these requirements. The SSPB is designed to preserve battery life via its
reduced power consumption. This Bi-stable brake relies on pulses of current
to operate the brake, offering a distinct advantage over other devices.
Usually, electromagnetic brakes require a constant power supply to be held
open, therefore the brake is consuming energy whenever it isn’t controlling
a stop. The SSPB brake reduces this energy consumption by relying on a
single, short pulse of current to open or close, eliminating the need for a
constant power supply. One pulse will be sent to close the brake and come to
a stop, another to open them and start moving.
As a result of this efficiency, the vehicle’s finite amount of stored energy
can be used for other functions. This can serve to greatly increase range,
improving the viability of electric vehicles in many new industries or
environments. The power saving features benefit both pure electric vehicles
and hybrid-electric systems.
