    there has to be motion for it to work.

    No there does not. Magnets hold the motor still.

      If the drive motor / braking motor isn’t rotating, it’s not inducing any current, so there is no regeneration happening. Whatever system is holding your car (someone’s car) stopped on a hill, it is not ‘regen’. Period. Full stop. No argument possible. To believe otherwise is to believe in free energy.

      I am about 99% sure your idea of “magnets” holding a car stopped on a hill is based on some kind of misunderstanding, but I’m not an electrical engineer. If you’ve read something that explains this, and you can link to it, I’ll look at it.

          You have no idea what you’re talking about. The brembo system in the OP simply replaces the hydraulic system with an electric one. It’s not a regen brake. It’s a brake pedal sensor that commands motors to actuate pistons in normal caliper/rotor/pad arrangement.

          Meanwhile, nowhere in the Yasa site does it say it can hold a motor still strictly through “magnets” because that’s not how motor/generators work. You can’t get resistance to motion without motion being input into the system. No rotation, no generated electricity, no electricity to shove into a battery/heat exchanger. Not to mention that site is primarily marketing hand waving. Research papers to back it are great, but they’re not what that site is about. They’re partnered with Mercedes, not actively producing these as current equipment.
