Did none of the Baker electrics have regen? I don't know enough about them, but just figured that some of them may have had a shunt motor design which would do regen quite handily.
Indeed they did! I posted the controller from a 1902 Baker on my web page at http://www.sunrise-ev.com/Controllers.htm. It had a compound motor, and used both regenerative and dynamic braking. In fact, it had no mechanical brakes! Just a mechanical parking brake.
This is a typical clueless reporter, not doing any research, and blindly accepting whatever some company's press reports claim.
