What is the function of regenerative braking in the BMW i8?

I recently purchased a BMW i8 and noticed that the brakes seem to engage differently than what I'm used to. Can you explain how regenerative braking works in this car and what its benefits are?

S

Regenerative braking uses the kinetic energy from the wheels to charge the battery of the electric motor. This can help to increase the range of the car and reduce the need for frequent charging.

K

In addition to increasing the range of the car, regenerative braking also helps to reduce wear and tear on the brake pads, saving you money on maintenance costs.
