Can the BMW Energy Recovery System Be Turned Off?
1 Answers
Turning off the ECO mode will disable the energy recovery system. Principle of the Kinetic Energy Recovery System: The basic principle is to store the vehicle's braking energy through technical means and release it as auxiliary power during acceleration! The specific usage method may mimic the A1's acceleration button. Advantages and Disadvantages of the Kinetic Energy Recovery System: Placing the flywheel in a vacuum box can indeed solve the issues of heat generation and wind resistance loss, but how to prevent the bearing from compromising the airtightness during the process of inputting and outputting power (to the flywheel)? Under current technology, electrical conversion is a viable option, but the energy loss is too severe.
