regenerative braking systems
Regenerative braking systems recover energy that is typically lost as heat during braking. When you apply the brakes, these systems use electric motors to slow the vehicle, converting the kinetic energy—motion energy—into electrical energy. This generated electricity is then stored in the vehicle’s battery or capacitor for later use, improving overall efficiency. Regenerative braking is common in electric and hybrid vehicles, reducing energy waste, extending driving range, and decreasing brake wear, making braking more sustainable and cost-effective without sacrificing safety or performance.
