In deceleration phases, the generator converts the vehicle’s kinetic energy and charges the battery with energy that would otherwise be lost. When the driver steps on the brake, the kinetic energy is converted into electrical current. This allows up to 40 percent of the braking energy to be recovered and stored in the battery.
