What does KERS mean on Roewe cars?

[LeMiranda]

KERS is the button on the Roewe ei5 that controls the intensity of braking force recovery and charging. Below are the relevant details: 1. Principle: KERS is the English abbreviation for Kinetic Energy Recovery System. Its basic principle is to store the kinetic energy generated during braking through technical means and release it as auxiliary power during vehicle acceleration. The specific usage method may mimic the acceleration button of A1. 2. Function: The Roewe ei5 supports an energy recovery system with three adjustable levels. By using the KERS button on the gear shift knob, drivers can choose between mild, moderate, and strong energy recovery modes. The different recovery levels result in noticeable differences in the deceleration effect when releasing the accelerator. In terms of braking performance, the kinetic energy recovery system on the Roewe ei5 provides a significant braking effect. When stepping on the brake pedal, it remains very linear with almost no dead zone. Due to the relatively low center of gravity, the vehicle's tendency to dip during braking is also well controlled.

When I first encountered the KERS system while driving the Roewe RX5 hybrid, this thing is actually a kinetic energy recovery system. It automatically converts mechanical energy into electrical energy and stores it in the battery when the car brakes or decelerates. Then, when you accelerate, it uses this energy to drive the motor, reducing the engine's burden and directly helping me save fuel. Once, while frequently braking and starting in traffic congestion, I felt the car was smoother, and the fuel consumption data showed about 15% lower than a conventional fuel car—so practical. Many of Roewe's new energy models, like the eRX5, are equipped with it. The design is quite clever, as the recovered energy can also extend the pure electric range, making the drive more powerful. There's no learning curve in daily driving; the system works automatically without affecting operation, just occasionally checking the battery status. Overall, it enhances driving pleasure while being eco-friendly.

I highly value the KERS system on Roewe vehicles. It stands for Kinetic Energy Recovery System, specifically designed to convert braking energy into electricity for storage, which is later used for acceleration. This directly reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions, making a significant contribution to environmental protection. Driving a Roewe electric car, every time I brake, it feels like saving a little bit, and the long-term cumulative energy-saving effect is noticeable. The system generally operates automatically without issues, simply understood as a recycling mechanism, making it suitable for ordinary people who prioritize green travel.

I've been closely following automotive new technologies. The KERS on Roewe is essentially a kinetic energy recovery system that captures energy during deceleration or braking, storing it in the battery for later acceleration. For example, in hybrid models, this system helps save fuel and provides smoother driving, reducing unnecessary expenses for urban commuting. I've test-driven the Roewe eRX5, and its recovery mechanism is intelligent with quick response, without affecting the braking feel. I recommend regular maintenance to ensure no aging in the circuits to optimize energy utilization efficiency.
