Chevrolet Regenerative Brake Service

If you have a Chevrolet electric vehicle or hybrid model, you’ll occasionally need routine Chevy brake service for your regenerative brake system. This is a slightly different type of maintenance than is required for gas-powered vehicles’ brakes. Casey Chevrolet has the expertise and trained technicians to keep your regenerative brakes healthy.

Regenerative Braking, Explained

Every time you slow or stop your EV or hybrid vehicle, the battery captures and stores the kinetic energy thanks to the electric motor, which serves as a sort of generator to convert the energy. This helps your battery stay charged so you can keep driving. Since regenerative brakes work differently than the braking systems on gas-powered vehicles, they generally require less maintenance than traditional brakes.

Chevrolet Models with Regenerative Braking

All Chevrolet electric and hybrid models have regenerative braking. So whether you’re driving an outstanding all-electric SUV like the Chevrolet Blazer EV or the exhilarating Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray with a hybrid powertrain, you’ll get all the benefits of regenerative brakes.

What Does Routine Regenerative Brake Service Include?

Chevy brake service for regenerative braking systems includes several maintenance tasks. A few of the tasks we’ll address when you visit include:

• A thorough inspection of the entire braking system
