Regeneration Brake System

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

During deceleration or braking of an electric vehicle or HEV, the drive motor acts as an alternator and charges the battery by converting the vehicle's kinetic energy generated during braking into electrical energy.

Regenerative braking amount depends on the vehicle speed, battery SOC, etc.

Achieves significant improvement in fuel efficiency in city driving with repeated acceleration and deceleration.
