What is regenerative braking in the BMW i3?

I'm new to electric cars and I've heard about regenerative braking. Can you explain what it is and how it works in the BMW i3 specifically?

Regenerative braking is a feature that captures the kinetic energy produced while braking and converts it into electrical energy to recharge the car's battery. It's a great way to extend the range of your BMW i3.

In simple terms, it's like having a generator on your car that turns the energy produced when braking into electricity. This electricity is then stored in the car's battery, allowing for longer driving range. I hope this helps!
