Reader Response Draft 1

  According to Hyundai (n.d.) website, under the section “Kona Electric Sporty Performance” introduces its intelligent regenerative braking system (RBS). In general, when an electric vehicle (EV) with RBS brakes, the operation of the car motor reverses, hence generating electricity to recharge the battery (Energy5, 2023) . It can adapt to traffic conditions or be controlled manually by the paddle shifters located behind the steering wheel, to control the level of regenerative braking. At the same time, the one-paddle mode can be achieved by pulling and holding the left paddle shifter. The purpose of this is to decelerate the vehicle without the usage of the conventional brake pedal. Charging is also strongest in the one-paddle mode (Hyundai, n.d. ). In addition, according to Moore (2023) , the Kona Electric offers a range of four distinct regenerative braking settings, spanning from 0 to 3. At level 0, there is no regenerative braking, while at level 3, regenerative braking is not...

Research Pathway

  Research pathway (ZiHui and Bryan) Thinking of Singapore going towards greener transport We thought of conventional vehicles using combustion engines changing to electric vehicles and hence; We used the Hyundai Kona Electric as our starting topic We researched the various types of systems within the Kona electric vehicle and found out about the intelligent regenerative braking system We researched more in-depth on functions and features of regenerative braking and various smart technologies. Lastly, we compile all the relevant sources and embark on the summary paragraph

Introductory Letter

 Subject: An introduction about myself Dear Prof Brad, I am writing an introductory letter to you, and I hope this will allow you to get to know me better. My name is Bryan Ng, a Year 1 student pursuing a Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering in the Singapore Institute of Technology. I previously graduated from Ngee Ann Polytechnic with a Diploma in Biomedical Engineering. I have decided to pursue engineering education because I was fascinated with the limitless possibilities of how machinery can make a difference in our lives. I have always been passionate about mathematics and science. They have always been my strongest subjects ever since I was a child. I have always enjoyed the satisfaction of being able to solve complex problems and explore parts of the products around me. One of my strengths in communication is being open to strangers and people around me. I am someone who likes to make people feel comfortable around me and I hope to be trustworthy for them ...
