Today, smart electric and hybrid vehicles are being presented as one of the potential solutions towards the rapidly increasing energy demand from on-road transportation. Due to the rapid increase in the cost of fuel, electric/hybrid vehicles are becoming widely attractive and prevalent nowadays. Electric vehicles are renowned to be incredibly efficient, consuming less energy and thus being environmentally friendly vehicles. The present chapter focuses on regenerative braking for smart electric/hybrid vehicles. The development of regenerative braking in electric vehicles has overcome the drawbacks of energy wastage; moreover, it helps to convert the heat generated during braking and affords greater efficiency of braking for a smart electric/hybrid vehicle. Moreover, the brake controller monitors the wheel speed and estimates the requisite torque as well as the extra energy from rotary motion that may be converted into electricity and transmitted back into the batteries during the regenerative mode. Nowadays, the automotive technology towards regenerative braking is improving rapidly. The study developed in this chapter provides clear guidelines and presents technological development in the electric/hybrid vehicle manufacturers to improve the performance, quality and competitiveness of the smart electric/hybrid vehicles such that they will be able to prevail in the automobile industries in the near future.
