Re: [EVDL] article:The world's largest electric vehicle travels soon in Switzerland
That's nothing new... people have been rolling rocks (read cargo) down hills for years... the problem is getting the rocks back up. So while the loaded vehicle may have a net gain in electricity, it is a little false to say that, since you're not taking into consideration the energy of the cargo. I'll bet that the unloaded vehicle going down the hill does not produce more electricity than it consumes going up the hill.

Funny that the vehicle is a net generator of electricity because it transports heavy loads downhill, so the regen braking produces more power than it takes to move the empty truck back up.

Unless some exceedingly large-headed politician (thinks he) has managed to change the laws of physics, that'd be a pretty safe bet. :-) In the days of electrified railroads, it was common for a train going down a hill to regenerate power back into its overhead wires or third rail. They would schedule the trains so another train somewhere else was going *up* hill at the same time. In a similar vein, electric commuter trains will regenerate power to slow down coming into a station. The power generated benefits some other train that is accelerating *out* of a station. These measures were used to avoid wear and tear on the brakes, and because they didn't have batteries that could to store the extra energy like we do in hybrids. -- Knowledge is better than belief.
