Brake now, drive farther later ⚡
Regenerative braking turns slowdown into battery power in EVs and hybrids.
Regenerative braking
You press the brake, and the traction motor flips into generator mode, sending electricity back toward the battery.
Regenerative braking
That recovered energy can help extend range, and regen typically returns about 60% to 70% of the captured kinetic energy.
Regenerative braking
Real life has limits: regen fades at lower speeds, cannot safely stop the car by itself, and friction brakes still do the heavy lifting.
That is why regen can feel different from a normal brake pedal.
