Abstract
A method of braking an electric or hybrid vehicle is provided. The vehicle ( ) has electric regenerative brakes and friction brakes ( ). In a normal braking situation regenerative brakes are applied. If a wheel ( ) slip condition is sensed, a selectively operable clutch ( ) tortionally connects an undriven axle ( ) to the driven axles ( ) to alleviate the slip condition. The alleviation of the slip condition prevents the electric regenerative brakes from being shut off in favor of an antilock friction brake application.
