Regenerative Braking: Hybrid vehicles utilize a technology called regenerative braking. When the driver brakes or slows down, the electric motor in the hybrid system acts as a generator, converting the vehicle's kinetic energy back into electrical energy. This energy is then stored in the car's battery, increasing its power level.
In a hybrid car, regenerative braking captures energy that is otherwise lost as heat when a non-hybrid car brakes. This process helps recharge the battery and maintain the vehicle's overall efficiency, resulting in improved fuel economy.
