Kathleen, Another great website that has some basic helpful info for those (like me) trying to learn some basics about conversions is the EV Association of Great Washington DC. They have great links to some well organized info at

Braking and AC vs DC What are the differences between an AC conversion and DC? Doesn't the DC electricity get chopped, simulating AC? Is it possible to get regenerative braking in a DC conversion? I thought it wasn't usually done/couldn't be done? Why or why not? DC conversions are what most people do, because they are cheaper, correct? Thanks in advance for clearing things up. —Katie _______________________________________________ Florida EAA mailing list listserv@floridaeaa.org http://www.floridaeaa.org _______________________________________________ Florida EAA mailing list listserv@floridaeaa.org http://www.floridaeaa.org
