Abstract
A pedal modifier regenerative braking system is provided for an electric or hybrid electric vehicle having regenerative braking system. The pedal modifier regenerative braking system provides a mechanism for superimposing on a traditional vacuum power hydraulic system a reduction in the energy introduced by the vehicle driver into the friction brake system by an amount that is a function of the vehicle braking provided by an electric motor in a regeneration mode.
