Regenerative braking in a BMW i8 is a feature that helps capture energy that would normally be lost during braking and stores it in the battery for later use. It's essentially a way for the car to recharge itself while driving.

Think of regenerative braking as a way for your car to recycle its own energy. Instead of the car wasting energy during braking, it redirects the energy back to the battery. This can extend the range of the car and make it more efficient.

From my experience, I've found that using regenerative braking in stop-and-go traffic can significantly increase the battery's charge. It's a great feature to have in a plug-in hybrid like the BMW i8.
