Such as when the steering wheel is being turned (if you have EPS), or you turn on your headlights or your massive stereo is cranking. The advantage is that with an EPS, the alternator will only see a significant load when you are turning the steering wheel as opposed to a hydraulic system where you have a constant max load on the output shaft of the PS pump as the other posts mentioned as well.

Why did the R35 not use electric PS pump? - LivinTheDream 08:59:38 03/08/17 my guess is the classic analog vs digital debate (n/m) - LJZTT 12:12:47 03/08/17 But the R35 is a digital car... In an analog world. (n/m) - MixManMash 12:22:18 03/08/17 Re: But the R35 is a digital car... In an analog world. - LJZTT 12:29:39 03/08/17 But digital is nothing but really fast analog... (n/m) - Dallas DamonZ 21:42:01 03/08/17 an electric pump isn't all that digital. - Antihero 20:14:45 03/08/17 true, maybe a packaging constraint under the hood then (n/m) - LJZTT 12:35:00 03/09/17 Why even a pump? I'm ditching fluid altogether. - 96300NAZ 18:47:26 03/08/17 Re: Why even a pump? I'm ditching fluid altogether. - Bad Fish 19:53:59 03/08/17 ^^^THIS.
