The Polestar 3 does indeed feature regenerative braking, which is a system that captures some of the energy lost during braking and converts it back into electrical energy to recharge the car’s battery. This not only helps extend the vehicle’s range but also reduces wear on the traditional braking system, leading to lower maintenance costs over time.
As part of its regenerative braking system, the Polestar 3 also offers a feature called One Pedal Drive, which allows drivers to control the vehicle’s speed using just the accelerator pedal, making it easier to slow down or come to a stop without needing to press the brake pedal. However, the brake pedal is still available for situations where more forceful braking is required.
Overall, regenerative braking in the Polestar 3 contributes to a smoother and more efficient driving experience, while also helping to minimize environmental impact by reducing the amount of particulate matter emitted from brake wear.
