What is regenerative braking? How do electric cars and hybrid cars regenerate power through braking? How does regenerative braking work? Regenerative braking is a fairly easy to understand concept, once one understands how motors work, and how generators work. Regenerative braking translates to energy savings, as it recovers kinetic energy. A motor can simply be reversed in order to generate electricity, acting as a generator to recharge a vehicle's battery pack.
