Is the BMW i3's range extended by the use of regenerative braking?

I have heard that the BMW i3 has regenerative braking, but I'm not sure how it affects the range. Can you explain how it works?

Yes, the BMW i3's range is extended by using regenerative braking. When the brakes are applied, the electric motor switches to generator mode, converting the kinetic energy of the car into electrical energy. This energy is then stored in the battery, effectively increasing the overall range of the car.
