That’s one of the situations that’s perfect for EVs because they have tons of torque but also can run in reverse, thus saving you brakes from overheating and wearing out, while actually recharging the battery. Was cool when I went to Colorado watching the % trickle up as I descended down a mountain.

Powderhorn@beehaw.org 1 week agoI pulled a U-Haul trailer with my Civic from Virginia to Oregon. Only took 2½ days, though the final few hours were harrowing. Maps back then didn’t so much express topography, so the trailer was actually pushing me down … I likely went through a year of brake pads in six hours.

Damn, be glad you didn’t boil your brake fluid though.
