How does regenerative braking work in the BMW i5?

I've heard about regenerative braking in electric cars, but I don't really understand how it works. Can you explain how it works specifically in the BMW i5?

Hi Sophia, regenerative braking is a feature that allows electric and hybrid cars to recover energy that would otherwise be lost during braking. In the BMW i5, its electric motor acts as a generator to convert some of the kinetic energy of the car into electrical energy, which is then stored in the battery. This energy can then be used to power the car, reducing the need to rely on charging. It's a great way to extend your driving range on a single charge!

Hi Sophia, regenerative braking is a genius technology that allows electric cars to recycle energy while braking. In the BMW i5, when the driver presses the brake pedal, the electric motor is engaged and works in reverse, converting the car's forward momentum into electrical energy. This energy is then stored in the battery for later use. It's an efficient and environmentally friendly way to drive.
