How does the regenerative braking technology work in the BMW i7?

I am interested in learning more about how the BMW i7's regenerative braking technology works. Can you explain the specifics and how it differs from traditional braking systems?

The regenerative braking technology in the BMW i7 allows the car to capture and store energy that would otherwise be lost during braking. This energy is then used to power the car's electrical system, improving overall efficiency. As for the differences from traditional braking systems, the regenerative braking system does not rely on friction to slow down the car, which means less wear and tear on the brake pads.

I have found that the regenerative braking technology in the BMW i7 is particularly useful in urban driving situations where there is frequent stop-and-go traffic. It not only saves energy that would otherwise be wasted, but also provides a smoother and more responsive driving experience.
