During regenerative braking kinetic energy of the drive wheels is converted by the electric motor – which is operated as a generator for this purpose – into electrical energy. In this way some of the energy which is normally lost as frictional heat during braking is fed in the form of electric energy to the battery and then utilized. At the same time the generator operation of the electric motor brings about a vehicle-braking effect.
