How does regenerative brake function in Audi e-Tron?

Can someone explain in detail how the regenerative braking system works in Audi e-Tron and how does it differ from traditional braking systems?

The regenerative braking system in Audi e-Tron uses the car's electric motor to slow down the vehicle and convert the kinetic energy into electricity, which is then stored in the battery. This allows for more efficient use of energy and reduces wear on the brake pads.

Compared to traditional braking systems, the regenerative braking in Audi e-Tron can capture and reuse up to 70% of the energy normally lost during braking. This not only helps with energy efficiency but also reduces the need for frequent brake pad replacements.

One of the main benefits of regenerative braking in Audi e-Tron is the ability to control the deceleration with the accelerator pedal. This allows for a smoother and more controlled driving experience, especially in stop-and-go traffic.
