What's that technology called that Mazda has It stores electricity from the forward momentum and uses it to move the car forward?
I'm not sure if it's a Mazda or Toyota, but it stores some of the energy from the forward momentum into a battery and then uses it to move the car form a standstill point instead of using petrol
I'm asking because I'm trying to recommend a car that has this technology after his Ford Telstar vehicle had died.
Added (1). Update: I think it's also in Toyota Camry's from 2015 to 2018 because I always hear this slight whistle from these Camrys as they decelerate. I assume that is the generator storing the electricity so that it can move the car from a standstill point instead of using petrol.
This is a feature of all all electric cars. It's called regenerative braking.

You are thinking of the Toyota Prius with its hybrid drive system. The car has a battery and electric motor system that can drive the car under electric power only (at slow speeds), and slow the car down by converting forward motion into electricity, then storing the electric energy in the battery. Most of the time the Prius will run the gasoline engine in the most efficient way possible, under computer control, to drive the car forward and charge the battery for the next time the electric motor will be needed to assist the engine or power the car silently with the engine off.
Are you asking about hybrids?
- I have a ford mondeo that had broken down. I called AA and they ran it through their computer and it said fuel sensor problem. I went to a? Garage and they replaced the fuel sensor. I drove up the street and the car broke down again. Plugged it in at the garage and it said fuel sensor fault. The garage then took that fuel sensor out and put it back in the car it was from and it was working. What could be the problem?
- Will Ford move production of the Harley Davidson F150 overseas now that Trumps trade war has forced HD to move their production overseas? Bonus question: Did Trump the negotiating super genius fail to see problems for American manufacturers like the ones he created for Harley?
- 2008 Ford Escape drivers seat is automatic and won't move forward but moves up, down, and backwards? I have a 2008 Ford Escape where only the drivers seat is motor controlled. Just tried to move my seat forward after cleaning and it will only go backwards up or down. It's now stuck too far back from the pedals. What is the problem? How can I fix this without shelling out hundreds at a ford dealer?
- Dr. Ford has quite the history of being a stellar teenager. She has admitted to drinking alcohol regularly as a teen, and she has also? Admitted to not being proud of the number of partners she was with. You Democrats seem to be unaware of this or maybe you simply downplay it. This is all political in nature, and you either know that or you are simply stupid! Why do you have Kavanaugh pegged as guilty? Isn't it innocent until proven guilty?
