What does the BMW i3's regenerative braking system do?

I'm considering purchasing a BMW i3 and I've heard it has a regenerative braking system. Can you explain how it works and what benefits it offers? Thanks!

Hello Samantha, the BMW i3's regenerative braking system works by capturing energy that is normally lost during braking and storing it in the battery. This allows the car to lengthen its driving range and can also result in a smoother, more controlled braking experience.

Hi Samantha, the regenerative braking system in the BMW i3 not only helps increase the car's range, but it also reduces wear on the brake pads and can save you money on maintenance costs in the long run.

Hi Samantha, as a current BMW i3 owner, I can tell you that the regenerative braking system makes driving in stop-and-go traffic a lot less stressful. The car slows down smoothly when you release the accelerator, so you don't have to constantly switch between the accelerator and brake pedals.
