Regenerative Braking
Regenerative braking takes some of
the energy from the moving vehicle
and turns it back into electrical
energy. This energy is then stored in
the high voltage battery system,
contributing to increased energy
efficiency.

This feature will slow the vehicle by
recapturing energy using the
steering wheel paddles.
