Regenerative Braking

Regenerative braking is a system that is found in both electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) that recharges your battery when you brake, recapturing the kinetic energy and converting it to electricity to recharge the car’s battery. Whilst it depends on the driving conditions and model of EV, regenerative braking can save up to 70% of the energy typically lost in a regular braking system.
