The narration for this video is in Russian, but the car's dash and info system are all in English and we have faith that you will be able to understand what's going on. Electric cars are charged by means other than by plugging them in, something which is very helpful in getting a bit of extra range. But the amount of energy recovered like this isn't going to be dramatic unless your trips involves a lot of steep downhill driving. Although as the video here will show, towing the car behind a truck is also very effective. It's not exactly practical for everyone, and most truck drivers probably won't help you like this. But in a pinch, it definitely would work.

What would you do if your Tesla Model S ran out of battery in the middle of nowhere, with no prospects of finding a suitable place to recharge it and continue your trip? Well, the answer comes from Mother Russia, a place well known for the challenging conditions drivers must survive in and accidents recorded with dash-cams. But Russians can be pretty innovative too, a sign that need really is the mother of invention. This guy figured a way to get the best out of Tesla’s regenerative brakes and it seems to be working as a last call solution, although we’re not fully convinced that such an improvising act is good for the electric sedan’s well-being. Regen braking is a source of negative torque which can cause the car to become unstable if applied to the rear wheels. Luckily, Tesla has that under control with its regen-limiting traction control system, that stops the rear wheels from slipping and keeps it safe for both the car, driver and passengers. In the Tesla Roadster, taking your foot off the accelerator at speed will provide a lot of regen but applying the brake simply adds the friction braking power to the regen process. The Model S is taking the same model, but adapted for a milder response, so this is why our inventive Russian managed to pull off the being-towed-by-a-truck stunt that made battery recharging possible in the first place.
