Abstract
Methods and systems for operating an electric vehicle in neutral are provided herein. The vehicle system, in one example, includes an electric machine rotationally coupled to a driveline and an input device with a neutral position. The system further includes a control unit with instructions that when executed, in response to movement of the input device into the neutral position, cause the control unit to operate the electric machine to apply a regenerative torque to a driveline and generate electrical energy.
